What's Next for Veteran's Memorial Park
Preparations continue on the construction of the North St. Paul Veteran's Memorial Park project. In May, Governor Mark Dayton signed the state bonding bill, which included $100,000 in state money for the project. Those funds, plus a $9,900 State Legacy grant, will be added to the more than $97,000 raised by the Veteran's Committee through the sales of paver blocks - bringing the total, combined project funding to date to more than $205,000. Through June 30, the Committee had sold nearly 430 individual pavers and more than 30 corporate sponsor pavers.
The law authorizing the bond funding requires a local match, which may include both cash as well as in-kind services. The City must also enter into a formal funding agreement with the Department of Administration; the agency overseeing the funding. City staff is working alongside members of the Veteran's Committee to satisfy all match and bidding requirements and documentation needs of the State to keep the project moving forward. At a minimum, the committee is looking to purchase and engrave the pavers, granite wall panels and entrance statue yet this year and begin construction next spring. !!Construction begins May 11, 2015!!. Grand Opening Ceremony scheduled for August 15, 2015. Stay tuned for construction progress...
The Veterans Committee is a joint effort of the American Legion Post 39, VFW Post 1350, North High Air Force JROTC and the City of North St. Paul. More information contact go to www.northstpaul.net. The Veterans Park Committee is finalizing the artwork and information needed on the Memorial Wall portion of the monument. A list is being compiled of the North Saint Paul Area Veterans (postal zip code 55109) who were listed by the Department of Defense as being Killed in Action, Missing In Action and/or Prisoners of War from all conflicts and time periods. We are asking the public to provide those Veterans' names that they believe to be included on the Memorial Wall. Please contact Carl Hurtgen, at 651.770.6022 or info@nspveteranspark.org with your information.
The North St. Paul Veteran's Committee will be at the History Cruze Car Shows on July 17 & August 21, 2015.

September, 2016
Tribute To The Troops of Minnesota became the first official chapter of Tribute To The Troops® in April 2011. To be sure, however, Tribute To The Troops got its start in Minnesota in 2004, inspired by a video featuring the song "Home" by country singer Rockie Lynne. The video features pictures of our fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms early on in the War on Terror. With inspiration from the video, a small group of concerned Minnesotans from the Twin Cities joined together to conduct the 1st Annual Tribute To The Troops Ride in the fall of 2004. Over 60 people on 45 motorcycles visited the families of three of Minnesota’s fallen heroes, conveying their thanks to each family and letting them know that their loss, and the sacrifice made by their loved one, will never be forgotten. The day was filled with hugs, tears, and warm smiles as each person attending was able to personally acknowledge each family’s loss. That fall day in 2004 marked the beginning of Tribute To The Troops®. The dedication and support of many volunteers and participants has enabled this organization to grow and to continue its important mission.
Since 2004, Minnesota members of Tribute To The Troops have conducted an annual ride weekend each September, visiting dozens of families over the years that have lost a loved one in the War on Terror. Each year, the number of participants has grown, helping to increase awareness among others of the ultimate sacrifice made by these brave American Heroes and their families.
The September weekend includes a ride to Camp Ripley to honor active duty personnel stationed there and a special concert program to honor our heroes and their families, providing an opportunity for ride participants and our heroes’ families to join together to pay tribute to our fallen heroes, share stories and memories, and to hear the special music of Rockie Lynne. The program includes a reading of the names of each one of Minnesota’s fallen heroes followed by a moment of silent reflection. It is an evening that families and participants remember for many years to come.
