Living a modern life in a historic town like Stillwater, Minn., one tends to forget that the familiar streets are the same ones people walked on during past war times. This is not the 19th-century Stillwater of Civil War times. It isn’t the Stillwater of 1916, when families worried about their sons in the Great War. It is a time when those serving in the United States military continue to protect us at home and abroad.
On Memorial Day, May 25 this year, we will honor and remember those service men and women who died while serving our country. Read more about We Remember
