STAGE 3: (N47 31.C12) (W092 32.D92)
The murals you have been seeing have all been done by Kelley Meredith from Butternut, Wisconsin. The other two are self explanatory, but this one needs more information for you to get the total experience. Look across the street from this monument. This is a mural of 68 figures representing the branches of our Armed forces throughout the historical wars. What is awesome about this mural is that each face is painted from a picture of a real local person in that uniform. If you inspect the mural close up- you will see the person’s name written next to the figure. Below the mural are stars with local service person’s names written on them (people paid $50 to have a name on a star) and below the stars, are more names in monument style printing (people paid $100 to have a name on this section). I have never seen a project like this in all my travels- so very personal to the community.

To find STAGE 4, answer:
E. Minnesota Statistics = MIA 36X (E= X- 1).
F. Minnesota Statistics = The numbers of deaths = F462.

FINAL STAGE : (N47 31.6J5) (W092 31.9K7)
