Gov. Tim Walz touts bonuses for vets who have served since 9/11

On the 21st anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Gov. Tim Walz spoke at the Minnesota State Capitol to revisit the significance of the date in American history while encouraging eligible veterans and active-duty military to apply for service bonuses.

He recalled the concern and confusion of students in his classroom 21 years ago when tragedy struck, and he noted that seven Minnesotans lost their lives that day.

Since then, 40,000 Minnesotans have signed up to serve in the armed forces; 109 Minnesota Gold Star families have lost a family member in the global war on terror since that day, Walz said.
