In Memory Of for Delbert E Minske, United States Military, Honored by Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery - Preston
You are missed so much Dad. Dad was stationed out in Aberdeen Proving Ground in mid 50’s, just a farm boy from a small MN town. He tried pizza for first time in NYC. We participated last year in this event and found it very meaningful…to say each of these names. You are always in our hearts Dad and we’ll raise a toast to you and David. Much love, Kim
