My Hero
Every Veteran’s Day is an opportunity to thank those who bravely served to keep our Country free. My husband and I spent some time together late Monday night viewing Facebook posts together of our military family and friends; all of us reflecting on past deployments. There is something about the comaraderie developed during difficult times, yet it is good to reflect on the people who were there with us during those times. Thankful for the “battle buddies” in our lives, for the military members and families who have sacrificed so much through the years and continue to do so, and for my hero! Here’s a few photos reflecting on Chris’ deployment to Afghanistan.
Chris in an open pollinated corn field. The team taught the people how to plant seed in the ground vs. scattering on the surface. The result between this and hybrid seed was larger ears with more yield in which the people brought their corn to the next Team to show them. Photo by Chris Rees.
This photo was taken at a Women’s Development Center where women and their children have a safe place to stay. This is a greenhouse where vegetables are grown and this little boy kept picking cucumbers and giving them to the soldiers so they got a picture together. The cucumbers were returned to the Center.

Celebrating 100 years – Cooperative Extension
Cooperative Extension is celebrating 100 years in 2014! We will be celebrating throughout Nebraska in 2014, but in the meantime, check out our YouTube video!
in 2014 the Cooperative Extension system will be celebrating 100 years! WOW – can you imagine a life without researchers finding better ways for agriculture production, without specialists finding better ways to feed our families, without educators who help us make wise decisions about our business decisions, without volunteers answers questions about our gardens, lawns, and flowers. Life without 4-H and the County Fair experiences. Life has changed so much over the past 100 years but there is one thing that remains the same and that is the people – as long as there are people asking questions and needing answers – there will be a place for UNL Extension. UNL Extension has so much to offer that the possibilities are endless and the impacts are beyond imaginable.
Stay tuned for more CELEBRATING 100 years! In the meantime – watch this youtube video on UNL Extension – Responsive, Innovative, Trusted. …

May We Never Forget 9/11/01
Video released from the Department of Defense. With everything going on in the world, I don’t have much else to say right now…except this. Today I’m remembering those who lost loved ones on 9/11/01 in my prayers. I’m praying for the many military members still serving this great country away from their families today-and praying for their families serving bravely without them on the home-front. I’m so thankful for those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. And through everything going on right now, God is in control and has a plan and purpose for all. May God continue to bless the U.S.A. and may we never forget 9/11/2001!
