The Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota (DAV MN) is set to host their third annual “Military Appreciation Family Day at the Farm”. This is a day to acknowledge and thank our disabled American veterans who continue to sacrifice past their days of active service. This year will pay special honor to our Vietnam Veterans.
Sutton Ridge Farm has volunteered to open their property for this delightful day of fun, family, and community. Jennifer Jensen, Farmer, owner & operator of Sutton Ridge Farm states, “We, along with our community, are seeking to be a blessing to our military veterans and thank them with a day of honor and enjoyment.” This event not only provides support to families of all military members and veterans, but also increases awareness of the services offered by Minnesota DAV and presents a variety of available resources. Activities offered at the event include:
– DAV MN keynote speaker
