A few seconds. A familiar face. A reminder of what matters. Deployed service members from our region took a moment to say hi to their families back home—and to help us get excited for tomorrow's Military Appreciation Night with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks Baseball. These quick clips are simple but powerful. They show the real people behind the service—the ones who miss birthdays, ballgames and everyday moments to serve something bigger. This night is one way we say thank you.
