Veterans Day; Richard Keith Sorenson and the Medal of Honor

I know I am a bit late with this post.  But, I had to wait for the dedication of the Veterans Park not far from where I live.

I did not realize that Anoka is home of a Medal of Honor recipient.

Richard Keith Sorenson threw himself on a hand-grenade and saved the lives of 5 other Marines during the battle for Namur Island, in the South Pacific, during WWII.



Every one graduating from Anoka High School should know his name and his story.


It was a cold day.   I was honored to be there.

All gave some.   Some gave all.
