Veterans Day Salute With today, November 11, being Veterans Day, I feel it is fitting to salute and be proud of each and every veteran who has served in the Armed Forces of our country in wartime and in more peaceful times.

I am especially proud of the veterans in my family who said ‘Yes, Sir’ when asked or volunteered before being asked. My maternal grandfather, John William Eaton, served dur...

By Annie Brimmer Veterans, we salute you, not only on November 11, but on every day. November 11 is a day set aside for honoring you who are veterans, but you did not give just one day of service. You gave every day you were enlisted. You gave physically and emotionally and made countless sacrifices. You left behind family, friends, a way of life and businesses to defend and protect this cherished land we are privileged to call home. Many went overseas, many stayed on U.S. soil, but the heart...

Kelly of Epsie while in Broadus the first of the week, “especially in trailing a big bunch of cattle 240 miles to their railroad shipping point. Standing guard in short shifts requires the vigilance of a cowboy about 20 hours out of every 24 and being on the trail twenty days I want to tell you it was about the hardest job I ever tackled or ever expect to tackle.” Kelly was one of the 14 men who took 1976 head of mixed cattle from t...
