Communities encouraged to identify veterans to connect with services
Asking if someone served in the military can help connect them to veteran benefits and resources, education and employment opportunities, peer support, mental health care and more. It can also open the door for community and organizations to receive the benefits veterans have to offer. That’s why Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) is launching the Texans Ask: Did Y’all Serve? Initiative. 11/06/2024 01:53 PM

The flag flies over the little-changed facade of the Dinter Post #3. Cuero’s American Legion was the third post chartered in the United States, thus the number 3. Cuero’s legionnaires were so enthusiastic they incorporated on July 1, 1919, before the chartering of the national American Leg...
Dinter Post serves community then and now
In the iconic Vietnam movie, The Deer Hunter, the wedding reception scene takes place in an American Legion Hall. It seemed only natural to use the American Legion as the backdrop for a social gathering, keeping in line with the history of many American Legion halls across the United States. 11/06/2024 01:53 PM

According to the Historical Marker Database, the likeness of Leonard Roy Harmon on this WWII poster is accurate except for the faux officer-type uniform. At the time of his death, he would have worn an enlisted sailor’s cover and jumper. (Contributed photo)
Warship named for Cuero man
We drive by the historical marker in the Cuero City Park so much we may forget its message. In 1943, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy announced the naming of a new warship the U.S.S. Harmon. Born in Cuero, Leonard Roy Harmon lost his life in 1942, serving aboard the U.S.S. San Francisco during the WWII Battle of Guadalcanal. He was killed while helping evacuate the wounded and sheltering an injured shipmate with his body. He was awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism. The U.S.S. Harmon was the first Navy ship named after an African American. 11/06/2024 01:53 PM

GOD first...Heavenly Father, we, who are still unable to find answers on how to pray, we know there are so many ways. All we need to do is simply open our hearts and pray no matter what our needs are. Pray in the dark, the brightest sunlight, with somebody, in solitude, or while in silent places. Our voices will be heard because we know You will hear us no matter where we are or what we're doing. Listen to us Lord when we pray in the name of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. You work in wondrous ways. 11/06/2024 01:53 PM

Home game against Shiner this Friday
Last chance to watch the 2024 Wildcat football team at home will be on Friday, Nov 8. Yorktown will face Shiner in their final district game. The Comanches started the season with a three game losing streak, falling to Hallettsville, Rice Consolidated, and Poth before winning six consecutive games. Currently, they are 4-0 in district play having defeated Louise in a shutout win last week, 6v Shiner does not post stats to MaxPreps so it is difficult to have current statistical information to report on individual players however the team is ranked 11 in 2A Division II standings. They are returning seven offensive and eight defensive starters from last year's squad that advanced to 2A Division I Area Finalist. Dave Campbell’s Football Magazine predicted the Comanches as the frontrunner in District 15 2A DII, taking advantage of a sea- soned team and having dropped down a division from previously. Standout for the Comanches is Preseason Defensive MVP, linebacker Kyle Adamek. 11/06/2024 01:53 PM
