Due to COVID-19, the Memorial Rifle Squad has suspended Honors for our Veterans at Fort Snelling National Cemetery until further notice.  Interment can be scheduled at this time or delayed.  Families should contact the Fort Snelling Administration Offices (612-726-1127) to learn about options and determine how they would like to proceed.  Families will be given the opportunity to have Memorial Rifle Squad Honors at a later date.

This is a paper by a MRS member expressing the feelings of our dedicated members having to SUSPEND services for our Veterans.  This paper will be published in an upcoming issue of  The American Legion Magazine.  The Twin Cities Local CBS Affiliate WCCO published this article about COVID-19 and the impact on MRS.

 

Be safe, check in on those in our community that need an extra hand and we hope to resume our services very soon.
