This year is the 15th Anniversary of the Minnesota Polar Bear Plunge. The plunge is held by the Minnesota Law Enforcement to benefit Special Olympics. The interested participants must raise a minimum of $75 and take a ‘plunge’ into one of designated spots on one of Minnesota’s frozen lakes. In the last seven years, the plunge has increased from five to 16 plunge sites all over the state, to include Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. Around 125 service members, mostly from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division ‘Red Bulls’ deployed to the area came to participate on the breezy and cold morning of Feb. 4 and hold a remote version of the event. Includes sound bites from Master Sgt. Brian Newcomer. Hometown: Anoka, Minn., 1/34th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, Polar Bear Plunge Kuwait Co-Coordinator, Command Sgt. Maj.
