Senator Coleman's father has died. A statement from the family has been posted on the Senator's official site:
“This morning, Senator Coleman’s father, Norman Coleman, Sr., passed away after an ongoing battle with cancer. As a decorated World War II veteran, he will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. During this time of grief, Senator Coleman and his family ask for your thoughts and prayers.”
The Pioneer Press reports that Senator Coleman and other family members were with his father when he died in New Jersey.
We join with Minnesota Monitor and MnPublius in asking our readers to respect the Coleman family's mourning. We are grateful for every veteran's service to our country; the passing of any member of the WWII generation is a loss for us all.
