Then and Now Harlingen, Texas was destined to become a crossroads from the moment Lon C. Hill placed his frontier town next to the St. Louis, Brownsville, and Mexico Railway track in 1904. Railroad crews had nicknamed the rugged settlement Six Shooter Junction before the train even arrived. At the center of fertile farmland laced with irrigation canals, Harlingen weathered bandit raids and floods to become an unrivaled agriculture shipping center by the 1920’s. World War II brought an aerial gunnery school followed in 1952 by Harlingen Air Force Base — whose property has since been redeveloped into Texas State Technical College, University A... Read More...

During his visits around the force, Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, chief, Army Reserve said the No. 1 question he’s asked by Soldiers is “what’s going on” with regards to budget and force cuts.

One of the most important jobs that we as parents have is to train our children to survive — and indeed, thrive — in the world that faces them. We try to give them a solid education, develop their character and work ethic, and impart core values that glorify God. These things are among the most important elements we can give our children. However, survival in this present world demands that they be able to provide for themselves and for the families that God gives them. As many of us know, that is not an easy task, especially in the current economy. So how do we prepare our children to enter an uncertain job market? How do we ourselves adapt... Read More...
