By DAVID SHARP | Associated Press | Published: May 15, 2021 PORTLAND, Maine Nearly 60 years ago, dozens of soldiers assembled for a top secret mission to Vietnam, three years before President Lyndon Johnson officially sent U.S. combat troops to the country. They never made it. Their airplane disappeared between Guam and the Philippines, leaving behind no trace. Ever since, their families have been fighting to get answers about the mission from the Pentagon. They also want their loved ones to be recognized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

BOONVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The deadline to apply for COVID relief grant funding from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs expired this past week.
As of Thursday, businesses in Boonville were eagerly awaiting that money.
Donna Ellis, owner of Yesterdaze, said that running a restaurant has been difficult over the last year.
“Sometimes you just want to sit down and cry,” she said. “But that doesn’t help much.”
Ellis has been running Yesterdaze for 20 years, but even her most loyal customers have needed to stay safe in a pandemic.
