Military

Thank you to everyone who came out for the kickoff of the drive. If you didn't get a chance to come out that day, it's okay. You can still help out, It will be continuing now through Friday, November 10th at 5 p.m.

Just so you know, I had promised myself that I would not share anything new about the United States 'Doomsday Planes' in our area unless something really strange happened. Well, this is that strange thing. I have proof that one of America's worst-case scenario planes just refueled over Illinois and then suddenly disappeared from radar.

We know we live in perilous times with several conflicts flaring up in different regions especially in the Middle East. But, that doesn't explain why a US Air Force 'Nuke Sniffer' plane just flew directly over Missouri. Something strange is in the air quite literally.

I am not an alarmist and this is not meant to be sensational, but just a heads up that one of the United States "Doomsday Planes" just flew over Illinois and it happened during a very ominous time.

After a long Memorial Day weekend, it was back to work and the normal routine for many. What wasn't normal was the fact that the US military's 'Doomsday Plane' just flew over Illinois and Iowa, but it's fine. It's probably fine.

This is such an important unwritten rule to follow anywhere when paying respects in a cemetery. These are tributes to servicemen and women. DO NOT TAKE THEM.

There's no reason for alarm even though I'm about to use the word "doomsday" here. The Air Force plane designed for worst-case scenarios just flew over Missouri and Illinois last week, but no worries. I hope.

Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs' office holds more than 100 military medals and ribbons that were surrendered as unclaimed property, and there's nothing they'd like better than to reunite the medals with the men and women who were awarded them, or get them to the servicemember's family.
