On 13 December, close to 6000 wreaths were placed at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, and the State Veterans Cemetery - with your help as part of Wreaths Across America. A beautiful tribute to those that have served and sacrificed Getting ready for this day takes months of preparation. Thank you to Jim "Big Un" Petty for all his work at FSNC; and the Brainerd leadership team along with Wreaths for the Fallen at the State Veterans Cemetery. Thank you to our members who came out to help - it couldn’t be done with out the combined efforts of all.

We have a new Assistant Ride Captain in the Rochester Sector - Dave Lucas, and Tim Snyder moved from the Rochester Sector to Metro SW. Thank you both!

As you celebrate the upcoming holidays, please remember our Gold Star families, and our military who are not able to be home with family and friends this year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Thank you for all you do.
