Old Glory Run coverage from May 16, 2009

As part of DigElog ROCORI’s extended coverage of the 2nd annual Old Glory Run, we had a chance to catch up with John Swanson, one of the inspirations for the Old Glory Run. Swanson, a 10-year military veteran lost his leg in combat. Humble by nature, he often tries to avoid the spotlight but at the same time understands the importance of sharing his story. Like so many other veterans, he appreciates the efforts of people like Curt and Pam Karls that go the extra mile to help reintegrate returning soldiers back into society.

In this story, Swanson discusses how life has changed for him since the last time we saw him. He also shares how the Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.) has helped with his medical issues over the past year. For those that are not familiar with the Old Glory Run, all proceeds from the event are donated to the Minnesota Chapter of the D.A.V. This is a must see story, and as the 4th of July approaches it is a great reminder of the sacrifices that others make for our freedom.

In this story you’ll hear from Chris Hoffman, a member of the Cold Spring Fire and Rescue Department. The Department made their annual trip to the Sauk Rapids Food Festival just across the river in hopes to repeat as waterball champions.

Waterball is a friendly competition where opposing fire departments line up across one another and try to push a basketball that is hung from a cable across to their opponents side. It is similar to tug-o-war but with hoses. In this story you’ll also hear some news about the upcoming waterball competition during Hometown Pride Days as well as the Firefighters fundraiser concert at the Gluek Distribution Center. For more information on these events, look for the yellow flyers around Cold Spring and as always, stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI.
