A program to recognize South Dakota veterans across downtown Rapid City honored the late Harold Thune — father of South Dakota Senator John Thune — Thursday with a banner placed in front of 507 Main Street. Senator Thune couldn't make the unveiling, but one of his senior advisors spoke to the media about the significance for Thune. Qusi Al-Haj, Deputy State Director and Air Force Affairs Advisor, knew Harold Thune personally, calling him a humble man who said anyone would‘ve done what he did. 'I'm sure it's going to be an emotional moment when he sees the pictures,' Al-Haj said.
