Home of Honored Veterans
Thielke, Mile, Behl, Schlieman, Sorenson....the list goes on. Appleton will never forget its fallen war heroes. On May 21, 1947, Appleton renamed its streets in honor of the World War II soldiers who gave their lives. Since then other war heroes from the Korean , Vietnam and Iraqi Freedom wars have been added. Appleton is the only town in the country with all of its 34 streets and avenues named after fallen heroes.We continue to honor our veterans today. Town celebrations, publications and other memorials feature information about these veterans.
