 First of all, I want to thank all who attended the Commanders’ Task Force, the United Veterans Legislative Council and the Minnesota Association of County Veterans Service Officers sponsored Legislative Day on the Hill in St. Paul. There was an excellent turnout of Veterans from all across the State of Minnesota. The rotunda was filled; the comments made were to the point; and there was a tone of commitment from the Veterans. Their presence made sure our legislators understood the impact Veterans make in this great state. I thank all who attended as you truly made a difference!
