January 30, 2013 Not everyone can watch the Super Bowl this Sunday and order their favorite pizza for delivery. The men and women serving this country can't call up the pizza shop and place an order for delivery. And thanks to a charity, they won't have to and still get their pizza!
The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube videos of it all.
November 10, 2012 Get out this Sunday to support our troops. Check out the Veterans Day parade this Sunday @ 3pm at the St Cloud VA. If you are active duty military or a vet It means a lot to our Veterans to see the support of our community members!
Any active duty military or Veterans- in uniform if they would like- and their families, are welcome to march
When Tammy Faile and her two children were chosen as the military family of the game for South Carolina's match up Saturday against the University of Georgia, they probably expected some sort of message from their husband and father Sgt. First Class Scott Faile, who is stationed in South Korea.

September 27, 2012 The men and women in the Military know what it's like to be in the line of fire. It's hard to know what that feels like if you haven't been in that situation. A U.S. Soldier fighting in Afghanistan had a camera on his helmet to capture what it's like being in the line of fire.
September 5, 2012 Ryan Rothman and Marine Lance Cpl. William H. ‘Billy’ Crouse IV have been huge Korn fans for years. The music has gotten them through life struggles and brought them together. It was two years ago when Billy was killed in a bombing in Helmand province, Afghanistan. Ryan felt it was best that Jonathan Davis keep his fallen brothers military uniform and presented Jonathan with his uniform at a recent show in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Valleyfair is honoring our hometown heroes over the Fourth of July holiday with free admission for any active or retired member of the military today through Thursday, July 5. Just present proof of service at any Valleyfair ticket booth and you’ll receive compli
June 22, 2012 We see this way to often. War veterans coming home and unable to find work along with the rest of us looking for work. That's the story for a 43-year-old veteran Bill Shephard.
May 30, 2012 It's good to know the world is not doomed with people who only think of themselves. When you see a bell ringer in the front of a store or a group of people raising money for a cause, do you whip out your phone and pretend you are busy, tell them you don't have any money, avoid eye contact, or do you help out anyway you can even if it is just 10 cents?

Most of America might look forward to Memorial Day because it gives us a three-day break from our hectic work lives and an excuse to grill great gobs of red meat over an open pit, but it’s intentions are much nobler.
May 25, 2012 It makes so much sense to honor our Military for all that they do for us, and to see a place like Valley Fair stepping up and giving back to our soldiers is very uplifting.
