There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states: “Tell me, and I will forget, show me, and I will remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” Community service learning is the Hands of 4-H.

My Journey to Becoming a Hospitalist

Body
When I first moved to Brookings, the primary care physicians took care of their own patients in the hospital. We would round on patients in the morning before clinic or try to sneak over during lunch or after clinic.

The Activation of the 95th Wing

Body
On March 4, 1944, the 95th Bombardment Group was doing what few others could do. Just three months before DDay, in the thick of World War II, poor weather conditions threatened to derail an important bombing raid. The cloud cover was too heavy for many units to fly through, as snowstorms enveloped the skies above Germany. These units either were recalled altogether or forced to attack secondary targets. But the 95th Bombardment Group persevered through storm and cloud. They attacked Berlin and successfully hit their target despite the hostile weather. That remarkable mission—the first ever daylight bombing raid over Berlin—earned the 95th their third Distinguished Unit Citation. Eighty years later, the 95th Bombardment Group lineage is being honored again. After serving various purposes over the decades for our national defense, and being inactivated and reactivated more than once, it was reactivated last weekend as the 95th Wing. I was proud to attend the activation ceremony of the unit, based at our own Offutt Air Force Base.

Helping President Trump cut your taxes

Body
Recently, President Trump re-committed to eliminating federal income taxes on Social Security benefits. He’s also promised to increase support for our veterans. I agree with President Trump. Social Security and veterans’ benefits should be completely tax-free. This week, I introduced two bills to help the President deliver on that agenda. My bills will help Americans keep more of their hard-earned money in retirement.

Colon cancer screening is important

Body
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. The lifetime risk of developing colon cancer is 1 in 24 for men and 1 in 26 for women. Early detection and treatment are instrumental at improving survival rates, and regular screening decreases the risk of colon cancer in the first place.
