Veteran's Day on the Hill

April 9, 2025

Veterans Day on the Hill in Minnesota is an annual event where veterans from across the state gather at the Minnesota State Capitol to meet with lawmakers, share their concerns, and advocate for veterans' issues. It provides a platform for veterans to discuss policies affecting their well-being, including healthcare, benefits, and other support services.

The event often includes speeches, networking opportunities, and informational sessions, allowing veterans to engage directly with state legislators. It’s a key opportunity for the veteran community to have their voices heard at the state government level, helping shape policies that impact their lives.
