We are eternally grateful to the nearly 300,000 Minnesota veterans who stood up to defend our freedoms here at home.

The State of Minnesota will continue to thank those that raised their hand by continuing to provide the care, services, and community they need to thrive.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

President Barack Obama is a statesman in every way.
The look on those veteran's faces. Class action.

Thank you Mr Obama.
