Officer Harris was caught getting down to MJ Wednesday while helping serve lunch in Grand Rapids.

Such a great moment for medical professionals on the front line. This is the outcome they're working overtime hours for.

Bill Clinton sent his congratulation to 5-year-old Michael.

This one's a tearjerker.

Michigan State Police honored the teens with a "Distinguished Citizen" Award Wednesday.
