Today's list includes only one name but it is still one too many. We also need to honor those families dealing with the tragedy that happened in Midland Texas last Thursday killing four wounded war hero's as a train smashed into the float they were riding on. Please take a moment to remember these brave young men and their sacrifice for our great country.
