Memorial Day weekend traditionally signals the start of summer in Minnesota. However, Memorial Day has its true origins honoring the men and women who died while in military service. Minnesota’s four State Veterans Cemeteries will commemorate those who gave all for their country.

These programs are always a meaningful way to remember those who have served our country and sacrificed so much.
