Ohio Honors Fallen for Memorial Day

Ohio’s Memorial Day commemorations opened with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Ohio Statehouse on Thursday, honoring three airmen from the 121st Air Refueling Wing at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base who were killed in March during Operation Epic Fury.

In northeast Ohio, communities from Bedford to Euclid are holding parades and memorial services this morning, including a program at the James A. Garfield Memorial at Lakeview Cemetery.

In central Ohio, ceremonies include a procession in Dublin from the Shoppes at River Ridge to Dublin Cemetery, and a veterans’ grave-decoration service at Green Lawn Cemetery in southwest Columbus.

In Greater Cincinnati, dozens of communities are marking the day with parades and remembrances, including a military flyover at Loveland’s Veterans Memorial and the annual Butler County parade in Hamilton.

Five Officers Hurt in Cleveland Pursuit

A shooting Saturday afternoon on Cleveland’s east side triggered an exchange of gunfire and a high-speed pursuit that left five officers injured.

Officers responded to the 5200 block of Fleet Avenue, where a 33-year-old man had been shot. He was transported to a hospital in stable condition. A 24-year-old suspect allegedly fired at officers, injuring two of them—one was hospitalized in stable condition, while the other was treated and released.

The pursuit ended near 15617 Chagrin Boulevard after the suspect crashed into a building and was taken into custody. Three additional officers sustained injuries in separate traffic accidents during the chase.

Broadway Avenue was closed to traffic while officers worked the scene and conducted their investigation.

The $10 Billion Tungsten Boom

The global tungsten market is surging toward $10 billion by 2030 for one simple reason: modern industry has no substitute for it. From the precision drills that build our cities to the high-heat engines that power our flight, tungsten is the indispensable “backbone” of global manufacturing.

With global prices recently surging 557% and U.S. inventory at a critical zero, the demand for a domestic source has reached a boiling point. It’s happening right as United States Tungsten is aiming to reestablish domestic tungsten to supply the 25-year growth cycle of American industry.

They’re already in supply talks with the U.S. Government. This is your opportunity to invest in United States Tungsten as they bring this critical resource back online.
