COUNTY LIFE
Ceremonies to celebrate our veterans
Montague County will honor and celebrate its veterans at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the county veteran’s monument at the courthouse.
Colm Murphy, veterans service officer, said the guest speaker will be Mike Hughes, a six-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
Hughes, who lives at Gainesville, trains horses and has produced multiple world champions. He was named Who’s Who of the South and recognized as Outstanding Rancher of the Year in the U.S. He also designs a line of women’s clothing.
The Patriot Guard will make a flag presentation and there will be a jet fly-over. Members of the Nocona Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 8558 will serve a cookout lunch as a fundraiser for its military heritage park. Another highlight will be the unveiling of new county veteran’s names engraved on the monument.
As North Texas finally transitions towards cooler temperatures, community water needs change as well.
Preparing your home for freezing temperatures can save time and money, especially with meteorologists expecting El Nino to bring wintry weather to the Southwest United States. Use these tips from the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District to winterize your house and well, all while saving a few gallons.
Now is the time to check fixtures in your home for leaks or moisture loss.
