More than 10,300 Veterans and spouses are interred among the three State Veterans Cemeteries. The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) is dedicated to providing Cemetery visitors a sense of warmth, comfort and support as they spend time with their family members at their final resting place. During the winter holidays, in particular, MDVA works to create a special environment where meaningful, one-of-a-kind memories can be shared. This environment is enhanced by beautiful, fragrant memorial wreaths that are placed on all headstones.
MDVA wants to continue this important tradition but needs funding assistance from the community to bring the effort to fruition. (While a local non-profit organization has led this effort in the past, this year it is unable to do so.) MDVA is seeking help to fund wreaths that will honor Minnesota’s fallen heroes. The fundraising goal is $100,000 for 6,500 decorated wreaths. More details are available at MinnesotaVeteran.org/ Wreath.
