Warren in the News: Minnesota Memorial Honors Veterans While Breaking the Silence on PTSD

A recent article on MPR News highlights an important place in our little town.

If you’re not familiar, a new veterans memorial in Warren focuses on the unseen scars of service, with a poignant statue depicting a veteran with PTSD sitting beside a service dog.

The memorial, spearheaded by local veterans and community leaders, aims to foster dialogue about mental health struggles often left unspoken. Funded through $400,000 in donations, the memorial includes stories from veterans like Brett Brandon, who relates deeply to the statue’s representation. Organizers hope the memorial becomes a place of healing and recognition for veterans and their families.
