Memorial Day is on Monday, May 28 and there are a couple events in the Twin Cities that you can attend to honor the men and women that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
The grounds around the Minnesota State Capitol host several war memorials. Two veterans organizations are gathering at the State Capitol on Monday. The Twin Cities Veterans for Peace will hold a memorial event at 9:30AM and the Vietnam Veterans of America will have a program beginning at 11:00AM.
At the Historic Fort Snelling the park is opening for the summer with events all weekend. On Monday Fort Snelling will be hosting a Memorial Day Tribute and Military Historic Timeline from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Costumed staff will help interpret United States military history, with characters from 225 years of history. There will be military drills, cannon firings, and other historical reenactments. Veterans are given free admittance on Memorial Day.
