In addition to music and refreshments, the event includes information and resources for veterans and their families. It’s also a great place for veterans to come together and share stories.
“‘Music in the Garden’ has proven to be a popular event for Veterans to connect with each other, renew old acquaintances and enjoy music on the lakefront,” said Laura Acompanado, suicide prevention coordinator at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center.
“This has become an established event for Veterans and the public and a great place for Veterans to learn about the many services available to them,” she said.
