Minnesota Military Radio - Tune in this Weekend

Minnesota MIlitary Radio

For over 12 years, the award-winning Minnesota Military Radio (MMR) has been the forum for retelling the stories of Minnesota?s heroes. Vietnam Veteran and volunteer host Tom Lyons shares these stories which are carried on 65 broadcasting stations throughout the state of Minnesota in an effort to preserve the stories of our Veterans and keep listeners up to date on things happening at MDVA and in our Veteran Community here in Minnesota.

Coming up this week we discuss Minnesota Military and Veteran Legislation with Congressman Tom Emmer [ [link removed] ], learn about the 148th Fighter Wing [ [link removed] ] at the Girls Rock Wings event in Atlanta and get an update from the Minneapolis VA Health Care System [ [link removed] ].
