1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:01,068
Why do you

2
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:01,635
think it's important for

3
00:00:01,702 --> 00:00:02,402
these young folks

4
00:00:02,469 --> 00:00:03,036
you think?

5
00:00:03,103 --> 00:00:03,637
And why is it important

6
00:00:03,704 --> 00:00:04,171
for them to learn

7
00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:04,938
specifically about

8
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:06,373
Wisconsin's role

9
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,208
in previous conflicts?

10
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:09,009
I think it's important

11
00:00:09,076 --> 00:00:09,743
for two reasons

12
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:10,377
to educate

13
00:00:10,444 --> 00:00:11,712
and to inspire.

14
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,347
To educate

15
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:14,014
people need to

16
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:15,249
understand that

17
00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:16,216
the shoulders

18
00:00:16,283 --> 00:00:17,384
that we stand on

19
00:00:17,451 --> 00:00:18,352
as Wisconsinites

20
00:00:18,418 --> 00:00:20,053
and as Americans

21
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,221
are the generations

22
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:22,389
that have gone before us.

23
00:00:22,456 --> 00:00:22,990
The other thing

24
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:23,624
I would point out

25
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:24,625
is the state symbols

26
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:25,692
that we look at every day

27
00:00:25,759 --> 00:00:26,393
that are callbacks

28
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:27,594
to Wisconsin veterans.

29
00:00:27,661 --> 00:00:28,629
Our state flag

30
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:29,596
our state song

31
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:31,064
“On, Wisconsin!”

32
00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:32,199
both callbacks

33
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:32,933
to Wisconsin vets

34
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,368
Old Abe

35
00:00:34,434 --> 00:00:35,435
has a Wisconsin

36
00:00:35,502 --> 00:00:36,803
Civil War tie.

37
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:37,404
So there are

38
00:00:37,471 --> 00:00:38,305
things like this

39
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:38,872
that we see

40
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:39,840
every single day

41
00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:41,275
that most people don't realize

42
00:00:41,341 --> 00:00:42,976
comes right out of the service

43
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,444
of Wisconsin veterans.

44
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:45,846
That's something that's educatio

45
00:00:45,913 --> 00:00:47,848
but it's also very inspiring

46
00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:49,149
when you realize some of what

47
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:50,083
has gone before and

48
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:51,285
hey, we've gone through this

49
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:53,687
or hey, the Frozen Chosin

50
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:57,191
they survived that horrible wint

51
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:58,458
We can do, you know

52
00:00:58,525 --> 00:00:59,893
we can do the same thing.

53
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:00,694
Whatever's going on

54
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:01,395
in front of us

55
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:03,230
it gives us perspective.

56
00:01:03,297 --> 00:01:05,566
And so that's the inspiration pi

57
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:06,700
and I think that's

58
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:08,502
both of those

59
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:09,203
you can find at

60
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:12,172
the Veterans Museum, for sure.
