    President Donald Trump responded to reports about North Korean despot Kim Jong Un, reposting state media photos that purport to show Kim attending a ceremony at a fertilizer factory. “I, for one, am glad to see he is back, and well!” Trump wrote on Twitter. Kim’s attendance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony was the first public appearance he’s made in about three weeks, and it comes amid speculation about his health. Several news outlets in Asia had reported that Kim, 36, was brain dead or had died, although South Korean officials said he was alive and still in control of the...

    A Valley boy, who shared his brave story with a Navy SEAL, got a surprise visit on Wednesday. Within the last year Josh Coppoth, 10, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and has undergone a series of treatments. Recently, his school decided they would write to Navy SEALs fighting overseas in Iraq. The letters were a school project, where the students shared some interesting facts with their military pen pals. Josh decided to talk about his cancer struggle. The letter reads in part, "I've had 3 surgeries, too many hospital visits to count, one surgery is to remove a tumor...

    I went to the VA Hospital in La Jolla, California yesterday to fill a prescription and get a new knee brace. While I was there, I asked if they had any Iraq War vets as inpatients. I was told that there were. I then asked if they were receiving enough mail. That was probably a stupid question, because you never get enough mail when you’re in the military. It seems that the majority of letter writing campaigns were focused on the vets at Walter Reed, Bethesda Naval Hospital, and those presently ‘in country’. We need to let the rest of...

    The Senate Republican leader, Bill Frist has created a ruckus in the Capitol by agreeing to go to South Dakota to campaign against his Democratic counterpart, Tom Daschle. But Dr. Frist seems to have a new pen pal on the other side of the aisle: John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "I wrote Senator Kerry a note last week that said, "While you're traveling across the country talking jobs, come back and help us get this bill passed," Dr. Frist told reporters this morning, referring to a corporate tax measure under debate. "He wrote back and said, `Well, we...

    7/8/2003 - MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFPN) -- Finishing first four times this year on the PGA tour while ranking fourth on the money list, people hardly ever see Tiger Woods without a golf club in his hand. Recently though, Tiger may also have been seen with a laptop, as he participates in the Jocks to GIs Direct program, run by ESPN.com. Jocks to GIs Direct is a program that matches professional athletes with deployed troops in an e-mail dialogue, posted on ESPN.com. Capt. Eric Demmitt, a logistician from here deployed to Central Command's area of responsibility, linked up...
