in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason
to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself."

St. Louis County Hires FDL Band Member With a Fond du Lac Band member in the role of Director of Veteran's Services, I asked what impact that could have for FDL Veterans. "Fond du Lac being close to Cloquet which has two phenomenal Veteran's Services Officers, who are doing a great job. But I will say that if you don't feel you're getting the service you should get, come on in. The bottom line is what we see often is folks that didn't realize, myself included, that you're eligible for different benefits," Ells answered. But some of Fond du Lac does fall in St. Louis County as well. "Knowing that Cloquet is in good shape, I wouldn't have any issues sending someone there, but they're more than welcome to come here if they want. Also Brookston would be included in St. Louis County." |
