memorial day

My old man died from cardiac arrest on President's Day of 2023 at St. Luke's Magic Valley. He's been on my mind a lot lately, and although he didn't die while on active duty, I'm still going to honor his contribution to our country all weekend long.

We hope you have a great holiday weekend. We salute our American fallen military heroes.

There are always events taking place in the Magic Valley, and this holiday weekend is no different.

Twin Falls is one of the best places in the country for Memorial Day due to a unique event that helps raise awareness and funds for veterans.

Two days later this week we’re expecting highs near 80 degrees.

The afternoon also aims at raising awareness of the sad reality of veteran suicide, which claimed more than 500 lives in 2018 and continues to happen at a high rate in the country, according to a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs annual suicide prevention report.

The technology company, GasBuddy, has predicted these high fuel costs to be the norm through at least June.

The time known as the "100 Deadliest Days" began on Monday, and will last through the Labor Day holiday.

There was still a crowd. I walked home soaked.

It's probably not a bad idea to carry some extra gasoline with you as well. Those pumps are going to be very busy.

While getting out and about on the neighborhood parade circuit, we've made a lot of new friends that have invited the station to tag along to some of the events they were putting together.

I really like war movies, even if they aren't based on actual events or are loosely based on real events. The good ones are able to portray what war life is like for the men and women in the military and make viewers feel pride and respect towards our war heroes.
