A Message from Realtor Eric Ristey
Every year on November 11, Americans pause to reflect, remember, and give thanks. Veterans Day is a time to honor the brave men and women who have served our country — those who stood in harm’s way to protect our freedoms and preserve the peace we enjoy today.
Here in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Northwoods, we’re reminded that the freedoms we experience daily — from exploring the Tuscobia State Trail to enjoying a peaceful sunrise over Big Chetac Lake — are gifts earned through the sacrifice of our veterans.
🇺🇸 A Legacy of Service and Sacrifice
Veterans Day traces its origins to Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. What began as a day to honor World War I veterans has grown to recognize all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces — past and present.
From the forests of Europe to the deserts of the Middle East, from land to sea to air, our veterans have defended liberty with courage, integrity, and unwavering dedication. They remind us what true service and sacrifice mean.
In communities like Hayward, Couderay, and across Sawyer County, countless families carry stories of military service — stories that connect generations and embody the strength of our nation.
🏡 Freedom, Community, and Home
As a Realtor and proud Wisconsin resident, I, Eric Ristey, see every day how veterans contribute to the spirit of our communities. They build homes, raise families, volunteer, and continue to serve long after their military duty ends.
Owning a home or piece of land in the Northwoods isn’t just about property — it’s about building a life grounded in freedom, opportunity, and peace. These are the very ideals our veterans fought to protect.
That’s why today, and every day, we pause to express gratitude. To every veteran and active-duty service member — thank you for your courage, commitment, and sacrifice.
🌲 Celebrating Veterans in Wisconsin’s Northwoods
Throughout Northern Wisconsin, from Hayward to Big Chetac Lake, you’ll find ceremonies, parades, and moments of quiet reflection to honor those who served. Whether it’s raising a flag, attending a local event, or simply reaching out to a veteran to say thank you, each gesture keeps the spirit of Veterans Day alive.
Let’s take time not just to remember, but to give back — through community support, veteran housing initiatives, or simply sharing our appreciation.
🇺🇸 A Message of Gratitude
On this Veterans Day, let’s come together as a community — proud of our country, thankful for our heroes, and mindful of the freedoms they’ve secured for us all.
From Realtor Eric Ristey and the entire Northwoods real estate family:
Thank you, Veterans. Your courage built the foundation of the freedoms we cherish every day.
