17 members, including 12 preferring Zoom to in-person attendance in the wake of an overnight snowstorm, had the opportunity to commemorate Veterans' Day by watching the Minnesota Department of Veterans' Affairs' 2020 virtual celebration of the day. The video featured patriotic music and salutes by MDVA and state political leaders. The link: https://vimeo.com/waitingroomcollective/download/476564623/50e482486d
