Today we honor our military veterans of the United States Armed Forces and thank them for their service protecting our country.
Honoring the Veterans
Tonight the beacon was lit at Split Rock Lighthouse as remembrance of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and loss of the entire crew of 29 men during a storm on November 10, 1975 on Lake Superior. The freighter passed by this lighthouse the afternoon earlier, but it sank before reaching Whitefish Bay.
