Edward Fisher said the memories of his time in Vietnam remain fresh.It was the late 1960s, and Fisher was suddenly placed in charge of a reeling 1st Cavalry Division, which had recently suffered significant casualties.“This company had lost its company commander, two platoon leaders, a bunch of sergeants, so significant losses," he said. "So I take over this company, and these guys, they’re not happy at all.”But Fisher said he persevered, bringing the company together as a cohesive unit before eventually being selected as the aide to the commanding general.Decades later, a surprise phone callAfter returning home, Fisher said he lost touch with many of the men and women he served with — that is until a few weeks ago, when the phone rang from an out-of-state number.“It was funny, I was up getting ready to take a shower and the phone rang, and the guy said, ‘I’m looking for an Edward Fisher,'" he said.

DENVER (KDVR) — It may be warm today but it will be cold tomorrow, figuratively speaking.The annual FOX31 and Dependable Cleaners Coats for Colorado campaign is underway. That’s the good news. The bad news is donations are seriously low this year. How did Colorado get its name? Maybe it’s because we are experiencing warm weather right now or maybe it’s because it doesn’t really feel like the holidays yet. Either way, the fact is the numbers speak for themselves, and donations are low.“Right now, we are only at about 5,400 coats that we have given out. Last year on this day, we were at 12,000 coats. So, less than half. That’s not good.“ said Kasina Swartz, store manager with Dependable Cleaners.Where to donate winter coats around DenverSo far, this is a very low year for the Coats for Colorado campaign.

She is now officially adopted. One of dozens celebrating National Adoption Day at Boston Municipal Court, Mimi has been part of the Lee family for half her life.

The Red Sox and Mariners exchanged depth pieces in the minutes before Major League Baseball’s non-tender deadline on Friday evening.Just before the 8 p.m. cutoff, Boston sent Luis Urías to Seattle for right-handed reliever Isaiah Campbell. Alex Speier of the Boston Globe broke the news.The Red Sox acquired Urías at the 2023 trade deadline, having spent three and a half seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. He only played 32 games for the Red Sox, his first American League team, but hit significantly better upon his arrival, raising his batting average from .145 to .225 and his OPS .535 to .698.Boston primarily deployed Urías at second base (28 games), but he also offers the Mariners depth at third and shortstop, a position he didn’t play in Boston, and two years of club control. He’s arbitration-eligible this year and next, currently on track to reach free agency in 2026.Campbell, meanwhile, can bolster a Boston bullpen that was dominant for much of 2023 but became exhausted dow...Colorado judge finds Trump engaged in insurrection, but rejects constitutional ballot challenge

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI (Associated Press)DENVER (AP) — A Colorado judge on Friday found that former President Donald Trump engaged in insurrection during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol but rejected an effort to keep him off the state’s primary ballot because it’s unclear whether a Civil War-era Constitutional amendment barring insurrectionists from public office applies to the presidency.The lawsuit, brought by a left-leaning group on behalf of a group of Republican and independent Colorado voters, contended that Trump’s actions related to the attack ran afoul of a clause in the 14th Amendment that prevents anyone from holding office who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution.The decision by District Judge Sarah B. Wallace is the third ruling in a little over a week against lawsuits seeking to knock Trump off the ballot by citing Section 3 of the amendment. The Minnesota Supreme Court last week said Trump could...Snoop Dogg is giving up ‘smoke.’ It caught some of his fans off guard.
