Veterans Day
I'd wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and all of the veterans in our community a Happy Veterans Day.
During this holiday weekend, I hope you will join me in giving thanks to our veterans and active military who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms both and home and around the world. Veterans Day provides a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to our brave servicemen and women and thank them for their service.
Many of us know someone serving our nation, and the selfless commitment they have made on behalf of their country and the American people. So to all of the Minnesotans who are serving or have served our nation, thank you. I wish all of you a Happy Veterans Day.
