This retrospective study of the Minnesota experience since 9/11 will chronicle individual service members and state units deployed overseas as well as a range of home-front stories. Minnesotans were in the towers, planes and Pentagon on September 11, among the first boots on the ground in Afghanistan, and some of the very last to leave in 2021.
Minnesotans also served in long and repeated deployments to Iraq and across the greater Middle East. Closer to home, communities came together in new ways to support the families of those deployed and welcomed immigrants as it has done before. Together, these stories start to stitch together a shared state history in America’s longest war.
The resulting retrospective will be published as a PDF in the summer of 2023 and be made available to the public without charge. Published copies will be provided to schools and libraries.

It is inspired by much earlier state efforts to draft definitive histories in the aftermath of previous conflicts (Civil War, Great War, etc) and is undertaken for the benefit of future generations.
