Taps – The American Legion Department of Minnesota

“Taps” is a listing of brief obituaries in The Minnesota Legionnaire featuring Minnesota American Legion members who have transferred to Post Everlasting. It is a way to honor and recognize their service to the community, state and nation.

It is not for all dearly departed veterans — just deceased American Legion members. Contact Editor Tim Engstrom at 651-424-4612 or tengstrom@mnlegion.org with questions.
