It is also a time to again say thank you to the many people in our state who volunteer to help others in our schools, at senior and community centers, in places of worship and so many other locations across Wisconsin. And a special thanks to those who went east to help recover from Hurricane Sandy.

Finally, we say thank you to all of our men and women who proudly serve in the military. To them, their families and our veterans; we say a very special thank you!
