I'm proud to report that the wait is over: “Devotion” is being made into a major motion picture! When it films in early 2021, “Devotion” will be the first American-made Korean War movie since the “The Bridges of Toko-Ri” and “Pork Chop Hill” that came out in the 1950s!

Many Wisconsinites fought for the Right to Try and @realDonaldTrump saw its value. It’s all about freedom. Thanks, @RCamposDuffy

Right to try is a big deal. @realDonaldTrump and @SenRonJohnson deserve so much credit for this life-saving legislation. Bias mainstream media has not given it much attention or sufficiently informed the public about who made it happen.

#OTD in 1943, the U.S. Senate passed the first, and thus far only, national childcare program, voting $20,000,000 to provide for public care of children whose mothers were employed for the duration of #WWII #History

Here's something we can all agree on. Proud to announce legislation w/ @SenatorBaldwin to rename the @USPS in Port Washington after #WWII veteran Joe Demler. He worked there nearly 4 decades after surviving a Nazi POW camp. Every Day is a Bonus. ronjohnson.senate.gov/public…

I have heroes on my staff. For the past 9 months my Comms Dir. has been working while coping with kidney failure. Another staffer gave him the gift of life. Their surgeries were postponed due to #COVID, but now they are both finally on the road to recovery. #DonateLife

UPDATE: Everything went great today. Surgery was successful, kidney is working I’m getting some rest. Thank you to everyone for your support! #DonateLife

I will not tolerate excessive use of force or police brutality. George Floyd’s murder is a despicable act, that this act was perpetrated by someone that was sworn to uphold the law should anger ethical law enforcement leaders. @OzaukeeSheriff

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. We will carry him in our hearts when our flights resume. Godspeed, hero.

Family of Richard Malmberg shared this photo of him. The 89-year-old South Milwaukee resident died yesterday of COVID-19 complications. His daughter said the Army veteran was supposed to go on an honor flight Saturday. He spent about a week in the hospital before he passed. @tmj4

Godspeed to a true American hero. WWII veteran & @SSHonorFlight's Joe Demler passed away peacefully last night. Joe weighed 69 pounds when he was liberated from a Nazi POW camp 75 years ago. He coined the phrase "Every Day is a Bonus" because of his WWII experience. #RIP, Joe.

9 year old Steven was overcome with emotion as he took his last #chemo pill. "I kicked cancer's butt!" We hope that with continued funding for #CancerResearch, kids like Steven can make all their dreams can true💛 bit.ly/2FY76Rd
