Honoring Minnesota military members on Veterans Day

That was just a fitting way to honor for our 250th year as a nation. Tonight, several people gathering in Richfield to honor service members on this Veterans Day. The ceremony was one of several throughout Minnesota today. Fox 9's Mike Manzoni joining us now. And Mike, they've added some names to the memorial in Richfield. And organizers read each one of those names during tonight's ceremony. They say this year was special because it also marks the country's 250th year as a nation. They fired the cannons and played taps as they honored all veterans, including the eight whose names are now included on the memorial in Richfield. We have Florian J. Bush. But this year, they did something different. President Woodrow Wilson. We adopted it and said this will be our national anthem. We decided to really honor the Star Spangled Banner. One of our board members had been out to Fort McHenry and brought back one of the flags that had flown there. The state's official Veterans Day service happened up in Duluth this year. Outgoing Senator Tina Smith spoke to the crowd. We all know in this room that Minnesota has a long and proud history. history of service to this country. We have served out of proportion to our relatively small population. And the memorial in Richfield allows any honorably discharged veterans name on the stone, including those who are still alive.
