10th District Commander’s June 2025 report


Thank you to everyone who came to St. Paul for Veterans Day on the Hill April 9. Approximately 650 veterans were there to advocate for our legislative priorities. By the time you receive this issue of the Legionnaire, the 2025 session will have ended. (Well, sort of.)
Thank you for using our grass-roots actions at mnlegion.org/action. Check back next year for new action items. The 2026 legislative platform should be available at mnlegion.org/legislation around December.
I am excited to see what my successor, Paul Hassing, will do with the Legislative Committee in the future, as I step back from this role to pursue other things.
One last reminder about the 10th District Convention. It is June 6 and 7 at Buffalo Post 270. June 6 is a Friday, and that is when the banquet takes place, with social hour beginning at 5 p.m. June 7 is a Saturday. The convention begins in earnest at 9 a.m.
I attended the Every Third Saturday Gala April 25 to celebrate their accomplishments serving homeless and justice involved veterans, along with many of my other partners in the work. If you’ve not had the chance to donate to my commander’s project, Every Third Saturdays’ donation page is https://www.everythirdsaturday.org/monetary-donations for credit card donations.

In service.
