In our third installment of Jeff Howe’s soldier presentation, he reminds us that the best ways for soldiers to cope with their experiences abroad are to share their feelings and to stay active. During this story, you will also hear from a WWII Veteran that received a one of a kind keepsake from a Polish Prisoner during his service. In return for the man’s graciousness in offering the Polish soldier a meal, he received a ring that was made from a spoon. DigElog Sauk Rapids would like to thank Jeff Howe and the many others that help to positively reintegrate returning soldiers into our society.

In our second edition of Major Jeff Howe’s story, you’ll learn more about the many issues our returning soldiers from Iraq are faced with. You will continue to be exposed to various photos as Major Howe discusses some of the living conditions that Iraqi civilians are living under. Lastly, Major Howe focuses on the importance of helping soldiers after their tours of duty in the military end. It is vital that we not forget about these brave young men and women that are simply trying to reintegrate into society.

Mr. Howe’s message is relatively simple, he seeks to raise awareness that returning soldiers, even his own, are being forgotten by our society.   There are some basic needs that require our focus and immediate attention. This is a serious concern for us as a society and we must see to it that these brave heroes are not forgotten.

Gluek Brewing Company opened their doors to the public at their brand new distribution center as they hosted the annual Cold Spring Jaycees’ Soup and Chili Bowl. The event takes place the every year one week prior to the Super Bowl and the best part is, it’s free! They gladly accepted donations to the local food shelf and all proceeds went to the Cold Spring Library with a small amount being set aside for other community funds. This year’s event was even bigger and more successful than last year. Thanks to all of those who participated whether it was consuming or providing soup and chili. Thanks again and see you all next year.
