Dear Friend,
Remember to take time this holiday week to honor our veterans and the troops that are actively serving. In commemoration of Independence Day, this report will include information about holiday events in the community, emphasize the importance of buying local, and provide tips on flag etiquette.
As usual, please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or opinions you may have about our community or our state.
Sincerely,
Chris Larson
State Senator, District 7
Happy 4th of July!
The anniversary of our nation's Independence Day is Wednesday, July 4. Join family, friends, and neighbors in celebrating the past events that secured our nation's fundamental rights and freedoms. It is also an important time to remember those in uniform who have served or are currently serving to protect our freedom and keep us safe.
If you are looking for a way to show your patriotism for our country or state, flags are available for purchase through my senate office. A 3'x5' nylon United States flag costs $13.00, while a 3'x5' nylon Wisconsin State flag is $16.00. Only checks are accepted and should be made payable to the State of Wisconsin. Orders will be fulfilled by my office once a check and request form are received.
