On July 11, 2017, Virginia Kaczmarek, Chair of the Northfield Beyond the Yellow Ribbon network, presented the first annual Volunteer Award to Dana Graham. This traveling award, designated by BTYR steering committee members, is presented to an outstanding volunteer, donor, or supporting organization of the Northfield Beyond the Yellow Ribbon.
Northfield became an official Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Community on November 11, 2015. Northfield’s former Mayor, Dana Graham, was instrumental in start-up and support of becoming an official Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Community. Today, Dana’s leadership as a committee member and support of Northfield’s Veterans is recognized.
The BTYR network creates awareness for the purpose of connecting veterans and service members and their families with community support and resources.

Yes, we have Veterans Day in the fall, and Memorial Day in the spring. But our service men and women sacrifice their time and safety every single day of the year, to preserve our freedoms.
At many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving, or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country. We honor our veterans every day. And we think there is no better time to express our appreciation, than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We hope you will join us at any of our 700+ participating locations, to show our veterans and their families – that we will not forget. We will never forget.

Honor our fallen veterans and let’s fill Fort Snelling with wreaths.
