Applauding my MN neighbors for their bravery and integrity. This is what the Midwest was made for-to stand as one and never back down in the face of a threat to our communities. Unbelievable that this is happening in our lifetime, but what the enemy doesn’t know or understand is how WE in the Midwest operate every single day, supporting one another and our communities. “Midwest Nice” should really be “Midwest Strong” because you will rarely see a person struggling without a stranger stopping to offer help. My heart aches at the losses you have experienced/witnessed and please know your neighbors are standing strong with you!
