Veterans Day, Children’s Shop Day
Many thanks to the women and men Veterans who made it out to the Veterans Day Free Community Meal Monday. I had the pleasure of serving the meal along with Joe Thimm, Dave Ertl and Kevin Stenson. There were 358 guests that took part in the meal which looked amazing. Another huge thank you to LeRoy and Matt Mitchell for their tireless work in the kitchen making such a wonderful meal. Thanks also to Emmy Lundeen and all of the many wonderful volunteers that helped this year. We have a truly amazing community.

A Veterans Day thank you
You will find three pages of this paper dedicated to Veterans Day. Veterans Day is celebrated to honor and thank those who served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is also an opportunity to acknowledge the courage and dedication of veterans’ service to our country. Our community is filled with these women and men who selflessly served and serve our country, often putting themselves in harm's way to defend the freedoms we all enjoy. I can’t say that I am good friends with each and every one of them, but the ones I am friendly with are some of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Tragedy is a time for support
The tragic news that took place on early Saturday morning has shook our community. The community and more importantly two families have lost their sons because of this awful event. Social media has been on fire since the crash and I am happy to say most of it (unlike normal) has been positive. There are some pointing fingers and accusing this person or that person. This is not the time for that, this is the time to rally around these families to show love and support. The pain they are going through is absolutely unimaginable.
