Silver Bay’s Minnesota Veterans’ Home are preparing for their Memorial Day service, which will be open to the public. The Memorial Day service was not available the last couple of years during the COVID-19 pandemic. The service is at 1:30pm and there will be local public speakers and everyone is welcome.

Randall Walz, the public relations coordinator for the Silver Bay Minnesota Veteran’s Home talked more about the Memorial Day service. “It provides care for those up in this area so they can stay close to the communities.” Walz said. “The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs has made an effort to try to have a veterans home within 200 miles of everybody. And that’s with our three new homes. And so Silver Bay really serves this area. So from Duluth to International falls, from Grand Rapids, Ely and Grand Marais. It’s a wonderful region and we have just tons of support in this area.”
