serves Minnesota veterans, servicemembers, their families, and our communities.

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service

the battlefield, whether it is service in the Persian Gulf, Korea, Kosovo, the
war on terrorism or peace-keeping expeditionary campaigns. Your courage and
sacrifice have made a difference in preserving and defending world peace.

Join us for camaraderie and as we serve each other, all veterans, military servicemembers, their families, and our Minnesota communities.
