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.
