Veteran Celebration

State Street Theater (SST) in New Ulm is hosting an event to honor the service of our country’s veterans.

The 204th Army Band will provide patriotic music. Bill Strusinski, Veteran, Author, and Speaker, will share memories and insights from his time as a medic in Vietnam as recounted in his memoir, Care Under Fire. Randall Dietrich, Executive Director for the new Minnesota Veterans and Military Museum, will have artifacts from the museum displayed and will speak about the Museum, which is currently under construction. Greg Peterson, Brown County Veterans Services Director, will have information to share on the many programs available to veterans and their families.

That Sunday is the Marine Corps’ 249th birthday, which will also be recognized. SST invites veterans and the public to this veterans’ recognition event, which is free and open to the public at 1 N. State Street (front doors) or the handicap-accessible door #7 off the theater parking lot at Center and Washington Streets.
