Once Upon a Time….

There were hundreds of beautiful princesses who each had a ball at this year’s Sweetheart dance. The Seguin Police Department says this year’s event was another great success bringing girls of all ages together for a special night with their fathers or father figures. The event was held Saturday night at the Seguin Coliseum. The Seguin Daily News thanks those who submitted their photos for publication. A posting of all photos can be found on the KWED Facebook page.

Honor, continued.

“The greatest sacrifice one can make is to give their own life. That is the most immeasurable way to display Christ to others and thank you to all who have done this. I end with this quote by Ann Voskamp. ‘The greatest freedom we have is the freedom to come right to God at any time because of the sacrifice price. Because he gave his own life, we have direct access to a perfectly Holy Father and we can go to him in prayer, and he listens, and he cares and loves for us at any moment. That is freedom everlasting,’” said Cave.

Over the past few months, members of the Field of Honor committee have been collecting donations for those wishing to display a flag at the site. For $25, individuals can still purchase a flag in memory or in honor of military personnel, veterans or first responders. The flags will continue to wave until closing ceremonies scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, June 17.

The flags are 3x5 in size and are assembled on 7.5foot poles. At the end of the event, the flags and poles will be yours to take home. Donations from the event will go to benefit the American Legion Post #245.

Cave says he looks forward to these next few days when cars and trucks coming down State Highway 123 Bypass will also get the opportunity to witness the love and pride that waves here in Seguin.

“For the next week or so, thousands – hundreds for sure but hopefully thousands will stop by and walk by these flags feeling pride yet also feeling humility. For the next week, my favorite part is at night when the lights will be dazzling over these flags at night creating a beautiful patriotic display,” said Cave.

The community is also invited each day at 7 p.m. for the playing of Taps. A flag retirement ceremony at the site will also be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
