•Regional Hero Flight includes several area veterans
December 7, 1941, is often referred to as America’s longest day. The attack that day on Pearl Harbor began our involvement in World War II.
During World War II, 85 percent of our nation’s families had someone serving in active duty. Nearly 60 years after the end of that war, a memorial to those who served was finally erected in Washington, D.C. Last week, 20 WW II veterans from central Nebraska had the privilege of making the trip to Washington to visit that memorial.

More soybeans are being planted today and that was one of the factors considered when Joe built the building.
