Plans are being finalized for the Tower Soudan area-wide annual Memorial Day Tribute to be held on Monday, May 26, 2025, at the Herb Lamppa Civic Center from 10 a.m. to noon. This tribute will honor the military service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, their families at home, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The names of local veterans killed in action and other deceased veterans will be read.

A medley of patriotic songs will be sung by the Tower Soudan Area Singers under the direction of Rolf Anderson. They will practice on Mondays through May at 5:00 p.m. in the Tower Soudan Elementary School music room. All are welcome to join. If you know the name of a recently deceased veteran whose name should be added to our roll call or need to make a change to last year’s list of veterans, contact Barb Peyla. Call or text 218-410-7883 or send an email to bngpeyla@gmail.com. The program will conclude with a traditional Memorial Day wreath placed on a symbolic Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in a ceremony to be held outside the Civic Center. Refreshments provided by the Tower Soudan Civic Club will be served before and following the tribute. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend this heartwarming event.
