Did you know in our own backyard, we have a Veterans Services Office (CVSO)? Do you know what CVSO's do? CVSO are a county funded program committed to providing the upmost support to veterans, at no cost. CVSO's provide assistance to veterans and their families to pursue all benefits, entitlements, and resources they are entitled to.

Our local CVSO is ran by David Tellefsen, a retired Marine 1st Sergeant who was stationed in Fond du Lac during his service and has raised his family in our community. He is currently helping the Fond du Lac office by outreaching to the community for awareness. Additionally, he is leading the FDL Veterans Park restoration project. They are asking the community for their help in raising money to restore the park.
If you are passionate about Veterans or know someone close to you that is a Veteran, the CVSO is putting honor brick tiles in the new Veterans park. These bricks are available on their website, for $75-100/ each. (Price varies based on customization.) All funds raised will go to specialty lighting, sound, and security enhancements, ensuring the park is a beautiful, safe, and welcoming space for all.
