     10.565 Hire a Veteran Month. 

    The month of May is designated "Hire a Veteran Month" in 
 honor of the more than 48,000,000 citizen soldiers who as of 
 January 1, 2005, have served in the United States Armed Forces, 
 of whom over 1,500,000 have been wounded and over 1,000,000 more 
 have made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for their 
 country.  Whenever called upon to defend our national security 
 at home or abroad, these men and women serving in the United 
 States Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard have 
 always responded immediately and effectively, placing the 
 national interests above their own.  Each year, the governor 
 shall issue a proclamation honoring this observance, urging 
 Minnesota state and local government departments, agencies, and 
 boards, as well as private employers, to give fair and 
 appropriate consideration to hiring military veterans.
