If you've seen these around St. Cloud, and understand what they mean, good for you. Some would think it's a parking spot for true Vikings fans.

A local Veteran is giving back to back to those who protect our communities this winter season.

The St. Cloud area will be hosting many Memorial Day ceremonies and services tomorrow (Sunday) and Memorial Day (Monday).

After six months Navy Veteran Chris Ring has become the first american to swim the Mississippi River. Yesterday (Friday) Ring ended his journey at the Head of Passes in Louisiana, where the river splits off in three directions.

A special memorial service will be held at the St. Cloud VFW Post 428 tomorrow (Monday) to remember the many who have served. The VFW will officially dedicate their monument, located in front of the building, to honor our military.

Start a new Thanksgiving tradition with your family this year, by having everyone at your gathering write a holiday card for military members & veterans. Completed cards can be dropped off at The Loon studios the week following Turkey Day -- and will be distributed to veterans and military members serving abroad by The American Red Cross.

This Saturday, May 31st, I'll be riding with hundreds of veterans and their families, friends, and neighbors -- climbing on their motorcycles to ride for freedom. Don't have a bike? No problem. It's still a great day to show our area veterans the thanks and support they deserve.

There's more than one way to honor those who served our country, and the Granite City Lumberjacks are doing just that.

I don't get requests and dedications very often, but Monday I got an email from a loving sister asking a special favor for her soldier brother and it is my honor to fulfill her request.
