The sepia tone gives the photo a sense of history. Three young people, teenagers really, leaning against a World War II truck bumper. All three look happy. Happy because the war had ended less than 24 hours earlier and that meant no one would die today.
It’s important to enjoy the festivities, but it’s also our responsibility to set aside time for prayer or quiet contemplation to honor the brave men and women who served, but never came home.
Please, take a moment to practice a little patriotism this Memorial Day and remember those veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend or the start of the summer season. The holiday gives people a chance to reflect and show gratitude. Please take a moment to remember the men and women who served their country in the armed forces and gave their life in defending the ideals we cherish.
For Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the blue wave is both a credible threat and an effective campaign message.
While our state agencies, county services, schools and non-profit organizations become trauma-informed, we need to bring TIC to businesses, neighborhoods, faith communities, and local governments. This will be our work until everyone in Wisconsin has a TIC shift in perspective.
Cops confrontation with Buck’s player gets national headlines, raises troubling questions.
Democrats were quick to jump on a report Wednesday that Foxconn was backing away from its promised financial investment in Wisconsin. Too quick, it now appears.
Thanks to increased voter registration efforts, Democrats may be able to oust Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker this fall.
It’s probably not a good idea for Nicholson to go negative. Not only will Nicholson’s campaign face a backlash, but Nicholson runs the risk of hurting the party’s chances of winning the Senate seat and holding on to the governor’s office. Nicholson is probably smart enough to realize that even if the out-of-town talent surrounding him doesn’t.
Ryan is popular within the GOP caucus. No one could defeat him if a vote was held today. The tally wouldn’t even be close.
No wonder Paul Ryan decided to bail. Here he is in his final stretch as House speaker, hoping to go out in a spirit of unity, and the press is filled with stories about whether his party will dump him prematurely.
An educator friend has the best idea of how to turn the tables on Walker. Families should take the $100 per child and give the money to their favorite local Democratic candidate to help turn the state’s education slump around and defeat Walker in the bargain.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch,” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after last week’s deadly mass shooting at a Texas high school.
Again, Scott Walker joins a list of governors and others who’ve proposed reforms.
The Supreme Court kept the traditional firewall between the Arbitration Act and the NLRA, allowing businesses like Epic to grow their workforces and the economy. It’s a decision even a liberal should love.
Matt Flynn’s proposals to “help victims see justice” do not do enough to ensure civil cases can be brought to court.
Running in the Republican primary to serve in the seat once occupied by McCarthy, Wisconsin State Sen. Leah Vukmir recently took her campaign straight into the gutter with an attack on incumbent U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin that might have made Joe McCarthy proud.
Study finds local companies Manpower and Kohl’s near the top of obscene U.S. pay gap.
This may shock people, but family members disagree from time to time.
