Viewpoint: Twenty-five years later, North Dakota remembers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years ago, on a clear September morning, our nation was attacked. Our country — and our understanding of the world — changed forever. For many Americans, Sept. 11 is remembered through images that remain etched in our minds: smoke rising above New York City, a scarred Pentagon, and first responders running toward danger as others fled to safety. For the families who lost someone they loved, however, Sept. 11 is not simply a moment in our nation’s history. It is an absence they have c
Letter to the editor: Elect leaders who will listen to the people (opens the original)

With the special session behind us, North Dakotans are left wondering: are lawmakers even listening to us? While we took steps to safeguard citizens from kratom, the only other legislation to emerge was a taxpayer bailout of a bungled military museum project — with no change in leadership or strategy, no guarantees the mistakes won’t repeat, and no accountability for those responsible. Veterans and taxpayers deserve better than this fiasco. Meanwhile, Republicans refused even to debate help for
Viewpoint: 9/11: 25 years later, the badge still means service (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years ago, I was asleep in my apartment when my dad called and told me to turn on the TV.

If you’re like me, you often look around and wonder what happened to the corner store, the neighborhood bar and all the local businesses. Over the years, they continue to disappear and the few that remain struggle to compete. If you can imagine where this is going from the letter’s title, I would posit that there is, among many other things, a glaring restriction which has become so ubiquitous in our daily lives that no one questions it. Before I go in depth on that restriction, I want to briefl
Viewpoint: Give veterans the opportunity to join your organizations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am deeply honored to have been selected by the Department of War as one of just 40 Americans to participate in the 2026 Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC). Established in 1948, JCOC is the Department’s oldest public outreach and education program. My nomination came from Brekka Kramer, the president/CEO of the Minot Area Chamber EDC, in her capacity as a member of the U.S. Air and Space Force Civic Leader Program. During my weeklong experience at JCOC, our group was immersed in the w
