On September 13, Jefferson City firefighters participated in the Tunnel to Towers 5k at the Capitol — they earned the fastest firehouse award.

Central Missouri Honor Flight is preparing for its final flight today, ending a 16-year tradition of taking Mid-Missouri veterans to Washington, D.C.—70 Vietnam veterans and one Korean War veteran will depart from St. Louis after gathering at the Courtyard Marriott in Columbia while the community is invited to welcome them on Monday night.

Jefferson City Tunnel to Towers 5K organizers honored top fundraisers John and Lisa Meyer early Saturday morning as area children cheered and supported local heroes—marking the 10th annual event dedicated to backing those who serve.

The celebration reflected a strong community commitment to honoring local heroism.
