KENOSHA â Itâs going to take some time, but plans are in place for the Danish Brotherhood Lodge, destroyed by last summerâs riots, to have a new and improved home.
And the more than 200 members who relocate there wonât be going to the new digs empty-handed â theyâll have both the American and Wisconsin flags to fly high and proud.
U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and State Rep. Samantha Kerkman, R-Salem Lakes, traveled to Kenosha on Friday morning to present the group with new flags. The new flags will replace those burned when their historic building on 63rd Street was left in ruins by rioters on Aug. 24, one night after the shooting of Jacob Blake by a Kenosha police officer.
