Jefferson Elementary marks 10 years of honoring veterans

COLDWATER, MI — Fewer veterans attended the annual Veterans celebration Friday morning, Nov. 6, at Jefferson Elementary School. This unique Branch County tradition to honor veterans began 10 years ago at the Vans Avenue second- and third-grade center. More than 300 students gathered around the flagpole and lined the sidewalks for the raising of the U.S. flag and Taps by the American Legion color guard. Students lined the halls as veterans, parents, and grandparents entered for breakfast in the cafeteria and a library program featuring songs and patriotic presentations by each class. A few parents took time off work to attend for their children. Dan Muckle served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2007 to 2012, including a deployment to Afghanistan starting in 2009. His son and daughter attend Jefferson. “I think it’s really important for the students. It shows them they can support local veterans and that local veterans are supported by the community,” Muckle said. Kevin Brooks served in the U.S. Army from 2009 to 2017 as a military police sergeant, including a tour at Guantanamo Bay. Brooks, a St. Joseph County Sheriff's detective sergeant, took time off to attend. He said his third-grade son’s interest made him

Multibillion-dollar battle brewing behind closed doors will affect every American

LANSING, Mich. — Fifteen years working as an emergency room nurse has convinced Kim Bogan that the only way to fix the American healthcare system is to tear it down and start over. Her patients arriving for triage are sicker than ever. They can’t afford many of the prescriptions they get in the ER. And sometimes when patients die, she wonders if she could have saved them had she not been caring for five or six other people at once. That’s why she spent the past year shuttling between 12-hour shifts at this city’s Sparrow Hospital and campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat who made “Medic...
