Freedom to Serve
As the U.S. military reviews its controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays serving openly, KPR Presents "Freedom to Serve." We'll look at the role of blacks and women in the military, and how those lessons can be applied to gays. "Freedom to Serve" was moderated by NPR Senior News Analyst Juan Williams, and held at the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence, MO.

Couple to Appear in Court on Fraud Charges   Date: July 30, 2010
   A Kansas couple was due in court today (FRI) to hear charges of fraudulently collecting adoption subsidies long after the unreported disappearance of their son in 1999. Doug and Valerie Herrman were scheduled to hear the formal charges this (FRI) afternoon during a brief first appearance in Butler County District Court. Prosecutors say the couple collected $52,800 in state adoption subsidies from May 1999 to July 2005 while falsely claiming Adam Herrman as a dependent. The Hermanns claim 11-year-old Adam ran away in 1999 from the mobile home park in Towanda where the family then lived. Adam remains missing. His absence wasn't reported until his older sister contacted authorities in December 2008.
