MEET LUBBOCK COUNTY'S NEWEST DEPUTIES: Congratulations from Latino Lubbock Magazine!

November is Military Family Appreciation Month

Each year the President signs a proclamation declaring November Military Family Month. This annual proclamation marks the beginning of a month-long celebration of the Military Family in which the Department of Defense and the nation will honor the commitment and sacrifices made by the families of the nation's service members. Throughout the month of November, military families serving around the world are honored through a variety of observances and recognized for their commitment and the many contributions they make every day in support of the military and our nation. Efforts to recognize the sacrifices of the military family by Active, Guard, and Reserve leaders are being joined and supported by DoD or-

ganizations to include the Army Air Force Exchange Service, Defense Commissary Agency, and others. Community leaders, businesses, and military bases and posts are teaming up to recognize military families through special events such as: open houses, fun runs, family fun nights, and community dinners; discounts at MWR facilities, local business and sporting events; and special recognitions during community activities throughout the month of November. Contact your local MWR or Family Services offices to learn more about events scheduled in your area. And thank you o all families for your service and sacrifice from Latino Lubbock Magazine.

In Remembrance of Alcario "Chayo" &

Mary Lou "La Guera" Garcia The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again. Always in our hearts, Marina, Suzy, Socorro, Alcario Jr., Mary Lou, and Ismael

Pedro Jesus Sulaica It has been a year since you have passed away. It's still so hard to believe you are gone. We miss you so much and think of you every day. Sending you hugs and kisses. In loving memory of my amazing Dad and grandpa. We love you, daddy. Diana Caraveo
