The following are excerpts from local Iraq War Veterans collected as part of the Slinger Area History Culture Project. This is not comprehensive of all veterans interviewed and is a work-in-progress. The pandemic has slowed down collection a bit. More may be added at a later date. Stay tuned for a Military Themed in-person community night in 2020-2021 school year for more veteran data.
