Canadian’s tribute to this area’s servicemen and women—and to others who have honorably served their country—was brought to vivid life last week with the panoramic display of United States flags flying in solemn formation on the historic Wagon Bridge for seven days during the 2024 Independence Day celebration.

The inaugural dedication of Canadian’s Field of Honor was held here on July 4 at 2 pm. The Canadian River Wagon Bridge was lined on both sides with 500 American flags—all dedicated to or in memory of the heroes chosen by those who purchased them.

Proposed fed rule would protect workers from extreme heat

 A year after a new state law ended mandatory water breaks in Texas, a proposed federal rule would protect millions of workers from the risks caused by extreme heat, The Texas Tribune reported.

Leslie Kirk Courson was born on August 28, 1956 in Pampa, Texas to Harold Courson and Joyce (Denny) Doran. He graduated from Broken Arrow High School and The University of Texas in Austin. He spent as much time honing his water-skiing talents and perfecting his skills on the skeet and trap range as he did on campus. Adulthood was calling, so he left Austin, donned a suit and tie and went to work for Courson Oil & Gas in 1984, where he remained until his death operating multiple oil and gas companies.
