Military Recognition Day for Fisher House Wisconsin

Military Recognition Day for Fisher House Wisconsin

Wednesday August 28th is devoted to our active and veteran members of the United State Military. Since the birth of Harley-Davidson, our United States Military and Harley have been closely related. In recognition of that tradition, and to honor the work and sacrifice of both our active and retired military personnel, we are devoting this day to you! We invited the general public(not just motorcycle owners) to stop down to the House of Harley-Davidson and participate in the programming activities and ride(or spectate) our military parade and ride.
