Good morning, Appleton.

The Appleton Historical Society has opened an exhibit—curated by Carol Jansen—that shows the history of football in the city using memorabilia, photos, and helmets dating back to 1893; the display highlights local athletes and changes in safety standards.

Veterans from the war on terrorism returned home after a four-day 'Freedom to Liberty' flight from New York City—trips that help them learn to deal with combat stress and trauma.
