Good morning, Grand Forks.

Over 200 veterans from North Dakota and Minnesota completed the second day of the Honor Flight on September 29th by visiting six historic sites in Washington, including the National Archives, Marine Corps memorial, Vietnam and Korean War memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, a military women's memorial and a WWII memorial. Many veterans shared heartfelt gratitude as they viewed founding documents and reflected on past sacrifices—leaving a powerful mark on the trip.

Veterans gathered at the Korean and Vietnam War memorials yesterday to honor their fallen comrades – many shared personal memories and silent tributes during their visit.

Laxmi Prasad from NDSU said improved management practices help reduce waste impacts but challenges remain.

North Dakota lawmakers plan a special session in late January or early February to decide how to spend up to $500 million in federal Rural Health Transformation funds—officials are unclear if Gov.
