Each Christmas students of Wisconsin are asked to help decorate the Capitol Christmas tree. Each year the Capitol has a different theme. 2014 - Honoring Wisconsin's Veterans.
Our boys made up an ornament with my Grandpa Sam who served in WWII.
The boys received a nice photo of the Governor hanging up the ornament and a letter saying the following;
Thank You!
Thank you for your creative contributions to the 2014 Capitol Christmas Tree. It was fun to see your imaginative interpretations for this years's theme - Honoring Wisconsin's Veterans.
Wishing you all the best as you finish this school year.
Govenor Scott Walker
