If you’ve ever been to WI and driven 94 south from Milwaukee to Chicago, you’ve see the sign below and done your best Beavis and Butthead, snickering at it.

But the park is named for Major Richard Bong, and he was a WWII war hero, with 40 confirmed Jap kills.

    Another fun fact about Major Bong, he’s also got a bridge named after him! Its also taller than the other bridge into Wisconsin so it’s commonly referred to as the “High Bridge”.
