Cape Girardeau, MO – Southeast Missouri may be off to a 0-6 start but Austin Peay State University knows all too well how difficult a challenge the Redhawks pose.

A year ago, the Redhawks finished 7-23 overall and 3-15 in the Ohio Valley Conference. But both games the Governors and SEMO played ended in overtime, with the Governors slipping out with victories each time in posting an 11-7 OVC mark.

Despite the winless start, the Redhawks seemingly are on track of becoming competitive once again in the OVC. Recently, SEMO traveled to Arkansas and played the Razorbacks to within 10 on the road.

Fort Campbell, KY - Just seven months after her 23-year-old son was killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq, and with three months left before her husband returns from his deployment to Afghanistan, Sheila Patton isn’t facing the holidays feeling sorry for herself.

Instead, she’s found a calling: helping to bring inspiration and hope to families of fallen soldiers at this post that’s suffered a heavy toll in combat losses since the September 11th, 2001, terror attacks.

Patton, the wife of Army Command Sgt. Major Gregory Patton, command sergeant major for the 101st Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team, feels the pain of her son’s death as if it had happened yesterday.

Army Staff Sgt. James R. “Jimmy” Patton, died April 18th during a combat mission in Tikrit, Iraq. The 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment soldier, based at Fort Benning, GA, was serving his seventh overseas deployment since 9/11 that had included two previous tours to Iraq and four deployments to Afghanistan. «Read the rest of this article»
