Share Your Homefront Story
The MN Military & Veterans Museum continues to be the leading state effort to chronicle Post-9/11 stories.
Building on the documentary, publication, public program and traveling exhibit developed for the 20th anniversary in 2021, the museum will now focus on the homefront stories to include but are not limited to the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, MN Military Appreciation Fund, Serving Our Troops and professional sports teams.
The museum is seeking homefront stories, photos and artifacts in support of a special exhibit, publication and documentary to be in place for the new Museum’s grand opening and 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
