November Is Veterans Month on WIZN
Throughout the month of November, 106.7 WIZN is proud to celebrate the men and women who have served our country. While Veterans Day is an important day of recognition, we believe our veterans deserve to be honored all month long.
During Veterans Month, we’ll be sharing veteran stories, recognizing local heroes, and shining a spotlight on organizations that provide support, services, community, and hope to those who served.
Thank you for visiting this page and for taking the time to learn more. You’re not alone in thinking highly of the veterans who have protected our nation and defended our freedoms. Every donation, every act of support, and every expression of gratitude helps ensure that our veterans know their sacrifices are appreciated and remembered.
