Letter - Visit and support cemeteries on Memorial Day
The Civil War ended in 1865 and claimed at least 620,000 and possibly up to 850,000 lives, either through battle, disease, starvation or accidents. Shortly afterward, the Grand Army of the Republic issued a general order designating Decoration Day. Since World War I, that day has been referred to as Memorial Day and is set aside as a day to remember all veterans who have died in all U.S. wars.

This post is about one particularly hard day, meant only to give you a glimpse of what it is like here and how we cope with what we see.

Tough legislative session comes to a close
Minnesota Democrats had enough members to pass nearly anything they wanted, but this legislative session remained about as contentious as any other. It was not necessarily a surprise to many Democrats, who say their party contains a variety of opinions and members from across the state. They can disagree as much with each other as Republicans.
