Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The intention of this project is to engage with, honor, and provide content for our region's Native military, veterans, and their families. Organizations like Veterans Memorial Hall at the St. Louis Country Historical Society are working to capture the stories of 33,000 veterans from Northern Minnesota to keep their legacies alive for generations. Our work would assist in that mission and would help engage newer generations with the stories of the past. The hope is for viewers to report a new understanding of past events and the great role Minnesota has played in this history.
