The Vietnam War was the worst of the worst. All wars suck, but that war had to be the worst for our troops and for the United States of America! As a nation, we did not stand behind them.

Heroes step up when you least expect it. Luckily for some Yakima folks, a guy named Tyler Gutierrez stepped up Saturday.

’24 Hours In Yakima’ — The Positive Side [VIDEO]
I hear every day how the Yakima Valley is a piece of crap. Nothing but drugs, fights and fornication. But that's not entirely accurate. There are some amazing sights to see in our fair valley. Wine, theater, Mexican dancing horses and just some good fun.
