The American Legion Post/Unit 154 - Mondovi raised over $2000 at the Buffalo County Fair.

Here are some pictures of the drawing at thier monthly meeting on the 1st Monday of the Month.

They also had bike raffles and boy were there stories of excited kids.

All proceeds go back to helping Veterans, children and youth in the community and more.

Thanks for those that stopped by the booth.

Way to go! And thanks for letting my daughter be a part of the experience.

93 year old military Veteran that has never stepped foot in a VA facility.

I was fortunate to connect with a Veteran and his wife last week in thier home.

They offered me pancakes and coffee.

They enjoy the company and also have a supportive family that looks out for them.

This particular day thier great-granddaughter was visiting.

The generations this Veteran has been a part of is mesmerizing.

Each time I meet with him he has new stories he hasn't previously shared.

It was definitely a different time he grew up in.

I knew he wanted to support with something but I didnt know what.

3/4 quarters into a cup of coffee, another pot brewing in the background, I finally find out.

"Will you help me make an appointment at the VA clinic?"

Me feeling guilty to took so long to come visit to assist.

Two phone calls.

One to make sure his eligibility paperwork was completed.

One to the clinic to schedule.

10 minutes later he has an appointment.

November 10, 2026 was the 1st opening.

Me feeling more guilty I wasnt able to visit sooner.

But 5 minutes, a warm cup of coffee and the Soldier had crossed another hurdle.

To all my brother of arms. This is a reminder to reach out to each other.

To family of the military Veteran, reach out, dont try to do it alone.

And if you want to help more, send me a message.

'Cause I am only one person and cannot do it on my own.

I am looking for military Veterans that want to help other military Veterans.

Come hit the road with me.

Looking for volunteers this Friday (July 24th) to help pick up medical equipment and furniture in Rock Falls and Eau Galle area.

Have to be able to lift 50lbs.

Also if anyone is in search of an entertainment system, I can drop this one off within reason (depending on distance and time.)

Veterans I have an ask.

Talk to your family about where and if you want to be buried.

Do you want to be stuck in a funeral home after your passing?

Possibilly having to pay rent to store your co**se?

I stopped by a Veteran's sons house recently to help him go through military documents that would qualify the Veterans to be buried at Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

The family had already applied to obtain his records (takes months.)

Spoke with the County Veteran Service Office (CVSO), but it wasnt a DD214 they had hoped for.

And had lost hope to bury him before his birthday in August.

Family members dont know what they are looking for.

Veterans you can fill out this application now while you are alive.

Dont pass it on to a grieving relative to figure out.

Or at a minimum let your family know where your military files are. Even better if you have them organized.

Register your DD214s with Register of Deeds.

The particular case i worked on was a National Guard Member that retired. The only DD214 that was found was for basic training. That doesnt qualify.

Although this Soldier had done months in Korea, it wasnt listed on a DD214.

So other documents I was able to find and can be used:
An id card showing "retired".
Letter of retirement (not a NOBE)
Annual retirement points showing 20 years +

I am grateful to be able to help. The spooner cemetery has a quick turnaround and the burial will definitely happen before August.

And if you are a family of a Veteran and feel lost, reach out. Reach out to your local Veterans of Foreign Affairs (VFW), American Legion, or Disabled American Veterans Organizations.

Or here. We are here to assist, guide and get the CVSO, VA or other supportive agencies to get your needs met.

Veterans don't tell your family everything is taken care and pass away. I have seen the affects.

Kindest Regards,

Christina Baurichter

Filling the gaps of when healthcare system is slow.

I enjoy being able to comment on Facebook posts like this:

Post: I’m ISO of a walker for a disabled veteran that I work with. They’ve been trying to get one from the VA for quite some time now with no luck. We are trying to get them up and walking but they feel more safe and sturdy with a walker. If anyone has one they’d like to part with, please let me know! Thank you

Response: Can definitely hook you up. Veteran Donor Connect- Wisconsin chapter collects up medical equipment (and some furniture) and donates back to those in need for free (mainly in Chippewa Valley currently, but we do travel when needed). I also work with local two local VFWs a couple American Legions who have a small supply. I am collecting up a cane, couple of walkers today and will have them in my vehicle to drop off. Or can send pictures of others that are available. Always looking for volunteers to support the cause. As a disabled Veteran, myself, I know how slow the VA can be and we want to fill the gaps. Can follow me More Than a Veteran Home for Veteran Resources and Advocacy. Here to serve Veterans, their families and the communities.

Meet Rick Miller – Hiking for a Mission

Please join us in supporting and thanking Miller - A man on a mission to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Rick is taking on this incredible challenge not only to push himself physically and mentally, but also to raise awareness and donations for PVA-WI. Please like and share this post to help maximize its impact.

Rick is a retired IT professional and a proud Army National Guard veteran. He enlisted in the Guard at just 17 years old and was assigned to the 1150th Medical (Air Ambulance) Detachment as a UH-1 helicopter pilot. After two years, he was promoted to commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 113th Heavy Lift Aviation Battalion.

Several years later, Rick married and relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he joined the 832d Medical Company. There, he trained as the unit’s Maintenance/Test Pilot and was activated in support of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Rick retired from military service in 2008.

Following his retirement from his IT career in 2023, Rick set out to explore the country—a dream he had held for many years. His travels have taken him across the western United States, Canada, and throughout Alaska. Most recently, he completed an impressive 8,500-mile transcontinental backcountry motorcycle journey along the Trans-America Trail.

Now, Rick is embarking on a lifelong dream: hiking the Appalachian Trail. He began his journey TODAY March 24, 2026, with an anticipated completion date of September 30, 2026.

To further support this cause, Rick has committed to matching donations made during his hike, to PVA-WI up to $500—and possibly up to $1,000.
