Cuero pays tribute to ‘most expensive holiday’

Cuero citizens sported their patriotic colors and paid reverence to fallen veterans on Memorial Day at the American Legion #3 Dinter Post.

Mayor Emil Garza, an Air Force veteran himself, spoke about the importance of the day and passing on the significance to future generations.

“As future generations advance, this day will lose significance,” he said. “Mostly because recent conflicts, fortunately, have not had the losses of previous confl icts. Time is making the great losses of previous conflicts a distant memory.”
