Former Vice President Dick Cheney was laid to rest on November 20th at Washington National Cathedral, and Wyoming leaders along with longtime friends remembered him for his roles as a congressman, Pentagon chief, and vice president.

Vedauwoo Volunteer Fire Department chief Matt Isborn said that past funds were withheld and future funding may be withheld by the department's auxiliary — so a planned tree sale will not help support the fire department.
