The first-of-its-kind tribute will recognize the families of active and veteran members of the military and recognize the extraordinary sacrifices they make on behalf of our state and country

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) today delivered remarks honoring Minnesota military families at a dedication ceremony at the Minnesota State Capitol Mall. The first-of-its-kind tribute will recognize the families of active and veteran members of the military and recognize the extraordinary sacrifices they make on behalf of our state and country.

“We’ve long honored the service and sacrifice of our veterans with monuments, and it’s entirely fitting that we do so,” Klobuchar said. “But what we sometimes neglect to honor are the service and sacrifice of those who stand alongside our veterans—our military families. The beautiful tribute we dedicated today changes that and will stand for all time as a reminder of how much these families have given on our behalf.”
