Military service is an honor, but it takes strong character. It takes grit and commitment. It takes someone who does not give […]
Experts are calling it a “child care crisis.” We have too few child care workers, too few child care providers, and too many parents seeking care that can’t be found.

Many brave Americans lost in World War II have yet to return home, and their remains rest far away from the homeland for which they gave their lives. U.S. Army Air Force Sergeant White S. Goings Jr. is an exception. Thanks to modern technology and ongoing efforts by the U.S. government, more and more American […]

The tribe had long suffered at the hands of the U.S. government. Originally, the tribe lived in the lands of central Wisconsin and northern Illinois, fishing and hunting […]
Last year, Time magazine published a sobering article describing the devastating impact of nuclear war.
