威斯康星州州长颁授年度退伍军人传承奖：Renee Simpson 两度出任州退伍军人组织司令创历史
威斯康星州州长 Tony Evers 与州退伍军人事务部11月13日宣布，Renee Simpson 获颁2026年度 Anna Mae Robertson 退伍军人传承奖；州长已于11月12日在州长官邸的退伍军人日招待会上向她颁奖。该奖前身为「年度女性退伍军人奖」，以二战老兵 Anna Mae Robertson 命名，她曾服役于有「六三八八」之称的第6888中央邮政目录营。
Simpson 投身退伍军人服务超过二十年。她曾在美国陆军任医疗专业人员，2013年成为威斯康星州海外战争退伍军人协会（VFW）历史上首位当选州司令的女性，2026年又成为首位二度出任该职的女性，目前在威斯康星 VFW 基金会工作，推动退伍军人与军属支持项目。
Evers 表示，Anna Mae Robertson 与「六三八八」的女性们早在获得感谢之前就已打破壁垒，Simpson 以一生的服务追随这一榜样、为后来者打开大门。州退伍军人事务部长 James Bond 表示，Simpson 二十多年来一直是威斯康星退伍军人及其家庭可以依靠的人。
Wisconsin Gov. Evers Presents Anna Mae Robertson Veteran Legacy Award to Renee Simpson
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, announced on November 13 that Renee Simpson is the recipient of the 2026 Anna Mae Robertson Veteran Legacy Award. Gov. Evers presented the award to Simpson at a Veterans Day reception at the Wisconsin Executive Residence on November 12. The award, formerly known as the Women Veteran of the Year Award, was renamed in honor of Anna Mae Robertson, a World War II veteran who served in the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight.
Simpson has served the veteran community for more than two decades. She served in the U.S. Army as a medical specialist, made history in 2013 as the first woman elected State Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Wisconsin, and in 2026 became the first woman to serve a second term in that position. She currently works with the Wisconsin VFW Foundation.
'Anna Mae Robertson and the Six Triple Eight broke barriers long before anyone thanked them for it,' said Gov. Evers. 'Following that example, Renee has dedicated her life to service and opened the door for others to follow.' DVA Secretary James Bond said Simpson has spent more than two decades making sure Wisconsin veterans and their families have someone in their corner.
