Veterans

I've been reaching out to you guys and asking you a question every day, and you've been giving some great answers. We've talked about everything from music to dreams to your past, and you haven't been shy about your opinions!

Here in our area, we have a lot of people who have served their country in the military - either in active duty, or the reserves.  I really don't think that I know anybody who doesn't have a friend,  a family member, co-worker, or neighbor who's a veteran somewhere.  And since today's our big Show Me Honor Flight Radiothon, I thought we'd talk about 'em a little.

Other giants he has worked with include Diamond Rio, Gene W

STANDING WITH OUR VETERANS, AS THEY STOOD FOR US By Gov. Jay Nixon One in 12 Missourians – almost half a million of our state’s 6 million citizens – have served in our nation’s armed forces. Now ranging in age from their early twenties to over 95 years old, they defended the freedoms we hold dear, both during times of conflict and times of peace.

Show Me Honor Flight veterans were welcomed home last night (Oct. 29), and what a welcoming they received! As they exited of I-70 from their all day event, they were greeted by 25 roaring motorcycles waiting for them at Marshall Junction to escort them home. As they came into Sedalia and over the railroad tracks downtown, a large group of citizens were there to greet them, as well as the Sedalia F

Well, it was a great Saturday (Oct. 12), showing support at the Sedalia courthouse and being a member of the 40 & 8.  I’m proud to say that I’m a veteran.  Now with that said, we held a veterans' rally at the same time the rally was going on in Washington D.C., where rally members picked up the barricades and carried them to the White House in protest of the shutdown of the memorials and the t
