Fort Snelling National Cemetery - Minneapolis
We celebrated Memorial Day by visiting the Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis. Even though we've all seen the cemetery hundreds of times driving past it on Hwy 494, this was our family's first visit to the cemetery grounds. Walking amongst the over 170,000 interments was a moving and solemn experience. Visit for more Our Town Minneapolis videos.

A Tribute to Minnesota's Military
The Minnesota Platoon, founders of The Military Salute Project, are a group of disabled veterans in Minnesota who organized gravesite visitations for Minnesotans, or those with Minnesota connections, who served on or after September 11, 2001 in the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force or the United States Coast Guard, including activated Reservists or members of the Army or Air National Guard, in support of Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Enduring Freedom and/or Operation Iraqi Freedom, and who earned one or more of the following decorations for their honorable service ...
National Defense Service Medal,
Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal,
Global War On Terrorism Service Medal,
Afghanistan Campaign Medal,
Iraq Campaign Medal.
Also included are Minnesotans who died while working as security personnel for companies contracted by the United States Department of Defense and a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93.
They were assisted in their project by hundreds of members of the Minnesota Patriot Guard from around the state, some of whom also traveled to Arlington National Cemetery. Patriot Guard Riders from other states also located cemeteries and gravesites interring the remains of Minnesota servicemen, and took pictures on behalf of the Military Salute Project.
This video is my gift to them. We Will Never Forget.

History of Minneapolis
Minneapolis is the largest city by population in the U.S. state of Minnesota, and the county seat of Hennepin County. The origin and growth of the city was spurred by the proximity of Fort Snelling, the first major United States military presence in the area, and by its location on Saint Anthony Falls, which provided power for sawmills and flour mills.
Fort Snelling was established in 1819, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, and soldiers began using the falls for waterpower. When land became available for settlement, two towns were founded on either side of the falls: Saint Anthony, on the east side, and Minneapolis, on the west side. The two towns later merged into one city in 1872. Early development focused on sawmills, but flour mills eventually became the dominant industry. This industrial development fueled the development of railroads and banks, as well as the foundation of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Through innovations in milling techniques, Minneapolis became a world-leading center of flour production, earning the name Mill City. As the city grew, the culture developed through its churches, arts institutions, the University of Minnesota, and a famous park system designed by Theodore Wirth.
Although the sawmills and the flour mills are long gone, Minneapolis remains a regional center in banking and industry. The two largest milling companies, General Mills and the Pillsbury Company, now merged under the General Mills name, still remain prominent in the Twin Cities area. The city has rediscovered the riverfront, which now hosts parkland, the Mill City Museum, and the Guthrie Theater.
