REDWOOD FALLS – Memorial Day is widely recognized as the unofficial start of summer, but for the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Redwood Falls, it represents a time to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The Redwood Falls State Veterans Cemetery will hold a special ceremony to commemorate Memorial Day and pay tribute to Minnesota’s fallen service members and support their families.
To commemorate Memorial Day, the Redwood Falls State Veterans Cemetery will host a special ceremony on Sunday, May 26th at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemeteries near Redwood Falls, located at 33752 Noble Avenue.
