Minnesota Town Honors Fallen Soldiers One Street at a Time

 A tradition in Appleton dating back to World War II. When a solider falls in battle, a street is renamed in their honor. As a result of this, all of Appleton's 36 streets and avenues are the names of young men who fought proudly for their country, but never returned home. With September 11th right around the corner, the towns fallen heros, some involved in the attacks, will be remembered.
