US Army

Foul play is suspected and being investigated after a missing soldier was found dead in a trash bin at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.

This has been happening practically in my backyard for decades and I had no idea the massive firepower being manufactured in Illinois and loaded into US Army weapons. Few states can match Illinois' output when it comes to supplying the military.

If you live in Missouri, you need to be prepared for tornado season, but there's a special reason why the US Army in the state is already getting ready for this year's twisters.

There was a tragic crash of two US Army Blackhawk helicopters that claimed the lives of 9 soldiers, 2 who called Missouri home.

This just in. Missouri mules are stubborn. How stubborn are they? Just ask any serviceman or woman who had to deal with them during World War 2 when the US Army drafted them into service.

I've always heard that almost every conspiracy theory has at least a tiny bit of truth in it. That can be said about the theory that the government is spraying chemicals over innocent citizens. That really did happen in St. Louis. History can also confirmed that it happened on at least 2 different occasions.

If you have a family, how would you deal with almost a year apart? That's the reality for many military families. One Missouri Army dad recently surprised his son at school after being deployed for 10 months.

Families of military service men and women pay a high price of separation which is even more difficult during the holiday season. That's why this moment when the St. Louis Blues surprised one US Army family with a reunion they didn't expect is all the more special.

What do you do after your years of service in the US military are over? If you're this army colonel, you build a plantation-style home in Missouri which is now considered one of its most historic homes.
