FORT KNOX, Ky. (AP) - A 16-year-old Belgian boy with cancer who listened to his grandfather tell stories about United States soldiers during World War II is getting a chance to be one of those soldiers.

Antoine Brisbois will be at Fort Knox for two days next week working alongside soldiers and training.

The post says in a news release that the boy wanted to be a soldier after his grandfather told him stories about World War II and the arrival of U.S. troops in Belgium. His grandfather had worked in the Belgium resistance.

Do you think the Federal Government should recognize that marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same plant?

Yes, they are different and hemp should be legal when states allow it

Both should be legal if states allow it
