Great Uncle Alford, stepped out of his tank in France when a shell landed nearby blasting a tree on him. Buried in Ft. Snelling.

If you've ever wondered what all those old buildings are at the end of 30R in MSP that's part of Ft. Snelling. The Vets cemetery is on the the south side of 30L. Put down your phone and look over that way when your in the hotel shuttle, you will see the white crosses.
The entire airport is built on old Ft. Snelling.
