WASHINGTON DC (WLUC) - Several women on the U.P. Women of Valor Flight did not work with many other women when they were in the service, or see support from the men they worked alongside. That’s not the story for one veteran. She served more than 30 years ago, but says it shaped her into who she is today. “It was amazing. Coming from the Upper Peninsula, I hadn’t traveled a whole lot.

WASHINGTON DC (WLUC) - Joining the military isn’t a light decision. While some veterans on the U.P. Women of Valor flight had family support, others didn’t.

WASHINGTON DC (WLUC) - Veterans on the U.P. Women of Valor Flight got a special honor. It was a time for each of them to be recognized. But that recognition goes beyond a single moment in time. Their service will be preserved for generations to come. “We have been invisible to each other. We’ve passed each other on the street.

MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) - In March, the mall in Marquette Township lost power for nearly a week. Then again in June, the mall’s owner didn’t pay the electric bill on time.
