This year, Maple Grove and Osseo American Legion Post 172 will partner with Beyond the Yellow Ribbon (an organization dedicated to connecting service members with community resources) to host a public Memorial Day ceremony at Maple Grove Veterans Memorial in Central Park. Janigo encourages community members to take part in this year’s commemorations to show support. In past years, she says the Maple Grove Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day celebrations brought forth a lot of participation from community members and city leaders. “These days are a time for the community to come together to help better understand the issues that service members and their families face,” Janigo says.
