Minnesota Wall of Honor Dedicated at Ft. Snelling Officers' Club
By Sandy Sweep
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Memorial Wall of Honor was dedicated on Saturday, June 11, 2011, at the Ft. Snelling (934th Airlift Wing) Officers' Club. The wall pays tribute to the 70 United States armed service members from Minnesota who were killed in action or died of wounds in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, and to their families and loved ones for their sacrifice.
Since the June 2011 dedication of the WALL, nine more names have been added. Two Sailors, two Soldiers, four Marines and one Air Force member.
