Rockin’ the Block
THE BLOCK WAS ROCKED, and it took a village to make it happen! The Canadian Community Center would like to say thanks to everyone who came out to party with us Saturday.
Honoring all of our veterans
I SIT HERE and wonder why a new wall hasn’t been added to the Hemphill County Veterans Memorial. There are so many veterans from the county that haven’t been added. Many of those were people the town had given up on, but who chose to volunteer for service.
So few in this country volunteer, but that’s what our military is: Volunteers, people who stand for a reason. Residents of our community have stood tall in that aspect, from Vietnam to Iraq.
