The Yoakum Economic Development Corporation (YEDC) Board of Directors presented $3,011 to the Yoakum American Legion Post 395. The matching grant funded the 16’X18’ concrete slab that is the foundation for the recently renovated World War II M1 57 MM AntiTank Gun purchased by the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 2456 somewhere between 1951 and 1952.

Lavaca County veterans have been asked to turn out at Monday's commissioners court in a show of support for the county's talks on hiring a new veterans service officer. A committee of local veterans was appointed last month and from what we hear, a nomination should be forthcoming at that meeting.

American Legion Post No. 230 in Hallettsville held their honorary flag retirement ceremony at the local Legion Hall in the city park. They were joined this year by the Boy Scouts of Hallettsville, who assisted local veterans prep all the old flags they’d been brought by those in the community to respectfully dispose of our national symbol with the all the respect she’s rightfully due. God bless America!
