As the nation honors its heroes this Veterans Day, one Michigan veteran said the best way to thank those who served is by helping them rediscover their sense of purpose long after the uniform comes off.

This weekend, The Butcher and the Baker in Brantwood will host BBQ for the Brave, an event benefiting Northwoods Veterans Homestead near Rhinelander.

On Friday, the grave of the unknown soldier at Pine Grove Cemetery in Wausau was exhumed

People across the Northwoods honored U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced 31-year-old U.S. Army Air Forces Pvt. Herbert E. McLaughlin from Shawano, Wisconsin, has been accounted for

Price, Taylor, and Lincoln counties as well as the Tomah VA Medical Center teamed up at the Northwoods Veteran Post in Merrill on Wednesday afternoon to help these vets and educate them on benefits they may not even know are available to them

Michigan is home to more than 470,000 veterans, yet many have never accessed the military benefits to which they are entitled

Governor Tony Evers visited the veteran resource as he wants to include a funding increase for Camp American Legion in the next state budget.

Events large and small took place across north central Wisconsin to honor veterans

In honor of Operation Green Light, a nationwide celebration of veterans that involves lighting up certain buildings with green light, Lincoln County will be doing the same to their own buildings as a way of saying thank you
