GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Congressman Tony Wied is urging the federal government to reopen a permanent DEERS/RAPIDS site in Green Bay.

This site gives active duty, reservists, veterans, and their beneficiaries a place to get military identification cards and learn about benefits.

There’s only one DEERS/RAPIDS facility in northeast Wisconsin, and it’s in Appleton, operated by a member of the Wisconsin National Guard who’s on temporary orders.

Congressman Wied wants to make sure that’s not the only one in our area.
