Veterans Day On the Hill is Minnesota’s annual spring advocacy event in St. Paul, typically held in April. Organized by the Minnesota Commanders’ Task Force, the gathering brings together veterans, their families and supporters to advocate for veteran-friendly policy at the State Capitol.

 

Doors open at 9 a.m. April 23. National Commander Dan K. Wiley provides the welcome message at 11 a.m. A free meal provided by Chick-fil-A will be served immediately after. The program starts at noon. During the program, Disabled American Veterans National Commander Coleman Nee will speak. 

​

Next, the veterans will gather in front of the Veterans Service Building and, at 12:45 p.m., march to the Capitol and assemble in the Rotunda. New security measures could make entry take longer than usual. A program in the Capitol will begin around 1:15 or 1:30 p.m.

​

DAV of Minnesota will cover half of the cost of a bus if the organization reaches out in advance to trent@davmn.org.

​

The CTF Legislative Priorities this session has one priority: Modernize the Disabled Veteran Homestead Market Value Exclusion. See the Minnesota American Legion Action Center here to tell your lawmaker about it.
