Women Veteran Statue Update - Due to an unforseen, last minute issue in the final manufacturing process, the sculptor was unable to deliver the statue by Memorial Day as planned. The statue will be finished and delivered soon and we will announce the date and time for the dedication. This was incredibly disappointing and we apologize for any confusion. Please stay tuned. We hope you can join us when we can finally celebrate and acknowledge our women veterans.

In 2009, the House passed HF433/SF236, which designated March 25 as Medal of Honor Day. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Obermueller (DFL-Eagan) and Sen. Jim Carlson (DFL-Eagan), the bill honors Minnesotans who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was first presented on that date in 1863. The bill passed unanimously in the House and Senate. It was signed into law by the Governor that year.

March 25 is designated Medal of Honor Day in honor of the individuals from Minnesota who have served in the military or naval forces of the United States and have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was first presented on March 25, 1863. Each year, the governor shall issue a proclamation honoring this observance.
