A bill passed by the House Transportation Committee would rename a stretch of Highway 58 in southeastern Minnesota after a fallen Zumbrota police officer/firefighter.
Gary Schroeder, Senior, is the father of Officer Gary Schroeder, Junior, who died in April of 2023.
He says naming this in his son’s honor would recognize both “his devoted service to the community and raise awareness about PTSD among first responders.”
Schroder Senior says Gary served 18 years with the Zumbrota Police Department, three years with Grand Meadow, and the Alden PD.
He volunteered as a Zumbrota firefighter for nine years.
The bill was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.
The post about preparing pre filled Easter eggs and calling for volunteers really shows how community events come together through small efforts from many people. It reminded me of helping at a campus charity event where students spent hours organizing simple activities for families. Around that same semester I was also handling coding coursework and even searched affordable python assignment writing help while finishing a difficult task. Experiences like this show how teamwork makes community projects meaningful.
