While serving in Afghanistan, Adam Alexander was hit in the head by sniper fire. He suffered a TBI and underwent a long rehabilitation process. Today, Adam visits classrooms sharing his story of perseverance to help kids learn how to deal with life’s challenges.

An emotional changing of the guard ceremony for these veterans here in Arlington National Cemetery. WWII veterans on the #HonorFlight laid down a new wreath. @upnorthlive

One of the last stops for @MMHonorFlight before we return to Traverse City.

The Air Force Memorial stands nearly 300 feet tall at its peak and hopefully the video does that crazy measurement justice!

Check it out on @upnorthlive News

We made it back to the airport, now the 14th @MMHonorFlight is heading back to Traverse City!

We caught up with our friend Bill Morse at the World War II Memorial. Bill is a 100 year old WWII Veteran.

We're proud to support the upcoming @MidMichHF, honoring Vietnam veterans with a tour and flight to Washington D.C.

Paused since 2019, we are so thankful these heroes will be recognized with a visit to the war memorials and monuments built in their honor. https://t.co/y0gfuzrla6

I’m going to watch the hearing about the 13 service members who were murdered during our botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Oh wait, there won’t be one.
