Adrienne Pedersen, WISN 12 TV (Milwaukee) UPFRONT segment: ‘Hero Cards’ honors fallen war heroes.
“A new way this Memorial Day weekend to honor our servicemen and women, ‘Hero Cards’ has launched. Think baseball trading cards but featuring service members and their stories. The goal is to target a younger generation and to keep the stories alive for generations to come.”
WISN 12 TV’s Adrienne Pedersen discusses the Hero Cards project with Dale Kooyenga and Craig Du Mez.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Years ago, Dale Kooyenga wanted something meaningful to hand out at a parade. Now, he’s launched Hero Cards.
“After more than a decade in politics, state Sen. Dale Kooyenga is diving into a passion project that has nothing to do with bills or budgets. Instead, it's all about honoring those who served and sacrificed in America's wars.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Bill Glauber, along with photojournalist Mark Hoffman, tell the story behind the Hero Cards project.
