We
pray
for
those
who
serve
our
people,
guard
our
public
welfare
and
that,
with
the
blessing
that
may
be
able
to
discharge
their
duties
honestly
and
effectively,
we
keep
the
fires
of
freedom
lit
and
strive
earnestly
to
fan
the
spirit
of
democracy
and
preserve
on
tarnish
our
loyalty
toward
god
and
country
and
our
god
of
mercy.
We
ask
that
you
bless
and
comfort
those
comrades
who
suffer
mentally
and
physically
disabilities
and
bring
us
their
blessings
of
health
and
happiness
and
make
us
aware
of
the
freedoms
that
we
enjoy
that
other
countries
are
tonight.

The
veterans
in
the
radio
have
a
stigma,
they're
always
fighting
each
other
and
los
angeles.
I
heard
this
from
my
father
himself,
who
was
also
in
the
military
and
I'm
really
proud
to
say
that
that
is
changing
and,
and
it
brought
up
to
my
life
thanks
to
your
leadership
when
this
resolution
was
presented.
F
F
Well,
this
is
five
years
of
communications
emails,
open
records,
requests
that
were
either
not
responded
to
or
open
record
requests
that
have
been
denied
and
everything's.
Here
we
haven't
documented
for
five
years,
so
if
anybody
wants
to
see
that
they're
welcome
at
it.
Secondly,
I
wanted
to
share
the
vision
that
we
have
from
our
coalition
and
it's
a
a
video
and
in
the
city
of
fort
worth,
they
have
a
tower
zip
line.
F
G
F
I
think
I
think
they
said
twenty
million
dollars
in
scholarships
that
they're
getting
from
the
military
martin
high
school
alone
has
beat
out
martin
nixon
and
cigarroa
getting
for
the
last
three
years.
One
million
dollars
in
scholarships
from
the
military
and
that's
before
we
even
had
an
obstacle
course.
F
A
Make
that
message
available
to
the
school
board
to
see
how
important
it
is
to
be
able
to
have
our
young
men
and
women
trained
before
they
decide
if
they
do
decide
to
go
in,
because
it
is
a
a
tremendous
advantage
for
all
of
them.
But
at
a
time
when
the
freedom
fighters
of
the
united
states,
which
is
you
guys
and
and
the
future
is-
is
the
the
core
values
the
the
core
of
our
values.
A
A
We
certainly
do
not
want
to
go
and
do
not
understand
the
monetary
budgets
or
the
school
districts
and
other
governmental
entities,
but
we
understand
how
valuable
a
course
like
this
can
be
to
our
to
our
future
military
personnel.
So
we
thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
we
continue
to
support
you
as
much
as
we
can.
Thank.
F
In
the
past
five
years,
we've
had
several
students,
but
once
they
graduate
and
leave
to
the
army,
they're
not
coming
back
to
speak,
but
I
don't
want
them
to
say
the
same
thing
about
veterans,
because
this
last
board
meeting
only
two
veterans
showed
up
and
I
would
love
to
see
every
single
member,
or,
as
at
least
one
member
from
every
veterans
organization,
show
up
and
identify,
because
I
don't
want
them
to
also
say
it's
only
two
guys
and
numbers
matter.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
A
F
A
J
E
Hopefully,
you
can
be
out
there
at
city
council
and,
as
far
as
the
whole
like.
Well,
it's
only
five.
I
mean
I've
gone
through
that
myself
with
an
issue
that
I
was
fighting
in
my
neighborhood
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
they
try
to
say
to
discredit.
You
is
like,
oh,
it's
just
five
or
whatever,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
right
is
right,
you
know,
and
so
it
doesn't
matter
how
many
people
speak
up.
E
If
you
know
that
what
you're
saying
is
true
and
is
correct
because
it
turned
out
that
the
thing
that
we
only
five
of
us
were
fighting,
we
were
right
kind
of
thing,
but
it
affects
so
many
more
people.
So
just
because
a
few
people
are
vocal
about
something
doesn't
mean
that
that
it
wouldn't
serve
many
others
who
maybe
don't
have
the
time
or
the
energy
or
the
will
to
be
as
vocal.
So
I
don't
think
that
should
be.
Something
to
consider
is
that's
what
lisd
is
looking
at.
I
think
they
should
look
past.
That.
B
F
D
D
A
I
A
C
C
C
So
from
last
time
that
I
was
here
y'all
that
we
already
had
identified
the
money
provided,
the
monies
everything
is
being
taken
care
of
monetarily,
we
were
only
missing,
a
quote,
got
the
quote
already
and
it
reads:
there's
there's
no
greater
love
than
he
who
gives
his
life
for
his
god.
For,
for
god
and
country,
that's
just
kind
of
was
reading
it
slow,
but
there's
no
greater
love
than
he
who
gives
his
life
for
god
and
country.
J
I
C
C
A
There
there
is
one
if
I
remember
correctly,
that
there's
a
lot
of
models
and
I
believe
there
is
one
with
the
soldier
moving
down.
Also,
I
don't
know
why
that
this
one
was
chosen,
but
I
believe
that
it
was
chosen
because
it's
more
universal
people
that
that
bought
that
the
rifle
and
the
helmet
and
depicts
somebody
that
fought
for
freedom.
A
It
doesn't
depict
a
gender
or
anything
like
that,
and
I
think
and
I'm
not
saying
that's
the
reason
they
chose
it,
because
I
was
not
involved,
but
I'm
assuming
that
that's
the
reason
that
it
was
more
universal
and
it
fits
everybody.
But
there
is,
there
is
some
out
there
that
that
depicts
a
human
kneeling
down,
basically
the
same
thing,
but
there's
there's
a
human
being.
C
C
C
C
A
A
It
makes
sense
this.
This
quote
came
from
sincere
back
when,
when
women
were
not
in
in
the
battlefield
and-
and
I
think
that
this
comes
from
me
from
world
war
ii,
I
believe
that
this
particular
quote
so
there's
no
matters
intended
or
anything
like
that,
but
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up.
Yes,
but
now
I
remember
saying
back
in
the
80s
that
sooner
than
later,
we're
going
to
have
women
in
the
combat
zone.
So
this
is
just
a
quote
that
happened
when
women
were
not
involved
in
income.
E
A
A
A
D
K
L
A
J
L
B
A
A
So
we
thank
you
for
being
here
today
that
you
never
never
been
here
before,
and
we
hope
that
our
our
group
continues
to
grow,
whether
it
be
veterans
warriors
or
the
general
public
that
want
to
come
out
here
and
and
exchange
some
words
with
the
freedom
fighters
that
you
are.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
Second
item
in
agenda
presentation
with
possible
action
by
victor
salazar
on
the
laredo
bed
set
bed
fest
event
and
any
matters
incident
there
too.
H
That's
good
enough
for
government
work
all
right
well
good
morning,
and
let
me
just
say
it's
an
honor
to
be
here
today
and
it's
an
honor
to
have
witnessed
history
being
made
today
with
these
young.
Ladies
back
here,
these
warriors
back
here
representing
a
woman's
organization
here
in
this
city
hall
meeting
today.
So
that's
quite
a
feat
and
quite
an
honor,
and
I'm
just
very
humble
to
be
here
today
the
reason
we're
here
today.
Let
me
introduce
my
guests
here.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
christina,
so
just
wanted
to
talk
about
genesis,
light
genesis,
light
is
a
new
committee
that
we
want
to
aim
to
provide
tiny
homes
to
help
veterans
transition
to
the
civil
life,
so
yeah,
the
citizens
side.
So
just
want
to
let
you
know
it's
going
to
be
providing
mental
health
career
services,
also
providing
any
type
of
medical,
physical
health
rating
to
that,
and
then
generous,
is
a
hospice
home
health
to
help
people
who
are
standing
life
or
not.
H
Let
me
just
say
the
generous
folks
are
more
of
the
holistic
approach
when
it
comes
to
home
health
care
and
they
are
prominent
advocates
for
veterans
and
veterans
issues,
and
they
just
have
some
remarkable
stories
when
it
pertains
to
veteran
issues
and
the
way
they
they
take
care
of
our
veterans
once
they're
passing
over
down
to
valhalla
hall
and
her
employer
has
shared
so
many
wonderful
stories
with
us
about
that.
So
I
just
want
to
give
them
a
shout
out
to
generous
home
healthcare.
H
H
This
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
great
event
for
a
lot
of
our
veterans,
who
don't
know
what
services
are
out
there
for
them
and
I'm
not
going
to
name
any
names
or
disclosing
that
confidential
information,
but
there's
so
many
individuals,
even
some
present
today
that
have
come
to
me
asking
for
advice.
What
do
I
do
with
this?
What
you
know
I'm
having
issues
with
with
this
problem-
and
I
say
well,
there's
this
organization
that
can
help
you
have
you
never
heard
of
that.
So
no
I've
never
heard
of
this
organization.
H
Well,
there's
these
other
organizations
that
are
available,
they're,
stateside
or
international
organizations.
A
lot
of
our
veterans,
don't
know
what's
out
there
for
them
and
that's
my
job.
That
was
my
mission.
That's
why
I
came
down
to
laredo
to
share
this
information,
this
knowledge
with
our
veteran
community
and
what
better
way
than
a
vet
fest
a
resource
fair
if
you
will
and
a
lot
of
you
already
rsvp
to
the
event.
E
I'd
like
to
add
something
I
know
christina
was
there
at
her.
I
was
with
her
dad
yesterday,
congressman
goyal
at
the
metro
for
the
you
know,
allocation
of
five
million
dollars,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
somebody
from
the
metro
was
there,
because
I
know
we
did
talk
a
long
time
ago
about
how
the
metro
has
there's
like
a
program
for
veterans
that
they
can
receive
up
to
a
hundred
and
something
dollars
a
month
where
they
can
use
to
buy
a
unlimited
monthly
pass
for
for
public
transportation.
E
So
somebody
from
the
metro
president
would
be
good
for
this
to
make
sure
that,
maybe
whatever
you
need
to
do
to
sign
up-
and
it
would
basically
give
you
free
plus
access
for
the
whole
month
and
it's
like
a
monthly
grant
that
you
can
get-
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
how
it
works.
But
I
know
we
talked
about
it
a
while
back
so
and.
A
A
Those
are
the
things
that
we
need
to
know,
because
the
majority
of
the
veterans
do
not
have
service
connected
injuries
and,
and
those
are
the
ones
that
we
need
to
also
be
addressing
to
to
be
able
to
get
help
and
in
a
one-stop
shop,
and
this
is
basically
what
you're
talking
about
here
and
having
at
least
just
a
a
one-time
once
a
year.
I'm
assuming
that
you
want
to
have
this
at
that.
H
H
M
C
H
Attending
just
to
name
a
few,
we
have
tbc
I'm
going
to
call
them
up
there,
they'll
be
there
a
few
of
their
departments.
We
have
david
and
his
organization
possibly
being
out
there
endeavors,
I'm
sure
you
guys
haven't
heard
of
who
they
are.
But
I've
referred
a
lot
of
our
veterans
to
that
organization
for
a
myriad
of
things
and
they're
huge
organizations
that
just
do
amazing
things,
they
do
anything
from
home
repairs
to
rental
assistance.
H
M
A
K
L
E
L
Well,
that's
the
the
places
the
place
has
already
been
chosen,
etc
because
way.
Back
over
two
years
ago,
I
started
working
on
this
walking
trail
and
the
place
that
I
really
wanted
was
at
north
central
park.
Vietnam
veterans
memorial
park
at
north
central
park,
but
that
land
has
already
been
allocated
for
a
very
much
special
purpose.
You
know,
which
is.
L
L
I
know
that
we
all
have
walking
trails
in
park
and
but
you
don't
see
the
end
of
them.
You
know
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
get
on
it
and
then
go
all
the
way
out.
But
this
one
is
perfect:
okay,
because
you
can
actually
visualize
the
the
the
amount
of
walking
that
you're
gonna
do,
and
so
he
said
I
will
look
into
it
and
then
I
got
a.
L
I
got
word
that
they
had
been
working
on
on
on
on
holding
that
land
for
a
fire
department
which
was
at
the
base
and
they
wanted
to
get
out
of
the
base
and
put
the
fire
department
there.
I
said:
well,
you
know
that's
really
a
none
dumb
question
here,
because
they
already
set
up
over
there.
Okay,
a
fire
department
over
here
they
would
have
to
construct,
build
and
and
then
again
it's
right
in
the
middle
of
a
neighborhood.
You
know
you
don't
want
all
that
sirens
going
off
at
all
hours
of
the
night.
L
I
E
E
L
The
thing
is,
is
the
whole
idea
of
this
walking
trail
for,
for
was
to
to
name
it-
the
vietnam
veterans,
memorial
walking
trail.
Then
I
said:
well,
you
know
what
that's
kind
of
being
a
little
selfish
now,
so
I
know
that
he
has
another
name
planned
for
it,
but
I
thought
about
hometown
heroes.
You
know
hometown
heroes,
walking
trail,
that
includes
everybody,
all
military
branches
and
everybody
who's
ever
served
in
the
military.
L
A
few
of
them
were
friends
of
mine
from
high
school.
You
know
matter
of
fact,
when
I,
when
I
arrived
in
vietnam,
they
had
just
killed
in
action.
That's
the
rudy
gonzalez
and
we
rudy,
and
I
were
very
good
friends,
not
only
him
but
a
bunch
of
other
friends
from
high
school,
and
so
my
idea
is
to
plant
a
tree
a
that's
a
memorial
for
each
one
of
those
27
veterans
and
I
had
cavazos
engineering.
L
Do
me
a
walking
trail
with
with
the
outline
of
vietnam,
south
vietnam
and
spaciously?
We
were
going
to
plant
27
trees,
okay,
that's
our
whole
intent,
and
so
I
approached
councilman
gutierrez.
We
did
meet
up
there,
one
time
and
and
he's
got
very
good
ideas.
You
know
for
that,
for
that
walking
trail,
and
I
said
well
just
I
said
just
give
me
the
the
the
opportunity
to
put
our
prince
out
there.
I
said
we
don't
have
to
because
he
told
me
that
the
mesquites
will
not
be
knocked
down.
L
I
said
no
you're
beautiful
leave
them
out
there,
just
let's
scream
trim
them,
so
they
can
be
real
nice.
You
know,
but
then
again
there's
enough
room
to
put
up
27
trees.
You
know
shade
trees
and,
and
that
would
make
the
walking
trail
a
lot.
You
know
a
lot
prettier
right
now
as
the
and
then
a
little
memorial
on
history
naming
that
tree
for
that
particular
veteran
that
died
in
vietnam,
and
so
this
is
where
we
stood
at.
You
know.
This
is
where
we
stand
at
right
now.
I
thought
he.
E
It
hasn't
been
approved
yet,
but
we
do
have
the
council
meeting
on
the
19th
so
I'll
talk
to
him
today
and
see
if
he
can
place
an
agenda
item
and
get
with
you
before
that
or
if
not.
We
can
talk
that
night,
but
I
know
that
he's
on
board
with
this.
He
talked
about
all
of
this:
the
shape
of
vietnam
and
the
trees
and.
L
E
L
Because
I
told
him
I
said
we
can
have
a
meeting
with
carrazzo's
engineer
and
he
can
redo
the
he
can
redo
the
walking
trail
to
to
your
liking.
That's
it
and
the
the
the
main
thing
is,
I
said
also
that
the
kiwanis
who
a
engineering
company
they're
members
of
the
kiwanis-
and
they
want
to
put
out
there
somewhere
in
that
in
that
part,
flag
retirement
for
the
boy
scouts,
so
we
can
have
a
yearly
event
out
there.
L
I
believe
it's
june
24th
on
flat
day,
and
that
would
that
would
bring
the
boy
house
out
there
to
participate
in
the
in
the
flag
retirement
on
flight
retirement
day,
and
it
would
be
a
very
nice
event
to
hold
out
there
and
the
kiwanis
are
willing
to
set
that
up
at
their
cost.
Okay,
and
so
this
is
where
we
need
to
get
together.
E
L
J
A
N
N
Again,
once
again,
I'm
isabel
ramirez
with
the
texas
veterans
commission,
I'm
a
part
of
the
healthcare
advocacy
department
or
a
department.
It
has
been
around
for
a
good
while,
but
I've
been
running
out
of
mcallen,
and
I
am
now
the
representative
for
the
laredo
region.
We
have
11
different
counties
that
we
service,
including
webb,
county
and
part
of
what
we
do,
is
help
veterans
navigate
the
health
care
system.
N
We
also
help
them.
We
also
help
refer
them.
Thank
you.
We
also
help
refer
them
to
organizations
and
resources
out
in
the
community
and
within
our
own
tvc
programs
that
we
have.
We
have
eight
different,
eight
different
programs
within
tvc
that
we
help
refer
them
to
as
well.
If
anyone
has
any
questions,
I've
given
up
my
flyer,
my
phone
number
is
there
my
information's
there,
I'm
currently
located
at
the
laredo,
va
clinic
in
the
lobby,
I'm
there
from
monday
through
thursday
and
on
fridays.
N
A
I'm
glad
that
you're
here
for
for
many
reasons,
but
I'd
like
to
bring
one
up,
because
you
representing
this
area
now
the
texas
veteran
commissions
around
and
operates
several
long-term
care
facilities
throughout
the
state
of
texas.
The
closest
one
that
we
have
right
now
is
in
the
mcallen
area.
I
think
it's
a
fairly
one-sided
long-term
help
care
facility
and
it's
a
very
nice
facility.
A
A
If
there's
gonna
be
an
excellent
build
that
we
can
get
together
to
see
if
we
can
build
it
in
in
our
county
in
our
city-
and
I
don't
know
whether
there's
one
plan
or
not,
but
but
there
are
very
nice
facilities
for
for
those
of
us
that
might
need
that
particular
type
of
help.
And
if
you
could
come
back
at
another
meeting
and
make
a
presentation
on
on
that
particular
program
that
the
texas
commission
has
the
veteran
commissioners.
And
we
appreciate
it.
Yes,.
A
C
C
We
have
a
situation
that
maybe
we
can
help,
so
I
don't
have
room
in
my
office
to
give
her
office
space
there,
but
you
know
talking
with
her
and
her
boss
prior,
maybe
we
can
one
day
out
of
the
week.
The
city
council
can
let
her
rent
free
use,
the
library
one
of
the
libraries
or
the
one
on
carlton
in
calton
and
mcpherson
is
kind
of
centralized
real
close
to
the
clinic
if
or
another
area
or
building
or
just
an
office
space
once
a
week
would
be
sufficient
isabel.
You
think.
N
N
C
N
So
of
course
the
privacy
to
the
veterans
is
not
there
and
for
me
to
discuss
with
them
certain
things.
I
do
make
appointments
with
my
veterans,
and
I
do
borrow
the
conference
room
when
available
at
the
at
the
laredo
va
clinic
and
they've
been
working
graciously
with
me,
and
I
really
appreciate
everything
they're
doing
for
me,
they're,
so,
of
course,
with
everything,
there's
always
red
tapes
and
whatnot.
C
C
C
You
know
I'm
just
foreseeing
it
and
if
we
can
stay
if
we
can
give
her
a
date
that
will
be
consistent
and
we
start
putting
it
out
there,
though
they'll
trickle
in
on
those
days
or
she
can
schedule
them
the
more
important
ones
on
those
days
to
more
privacy,
because
unfortunately,
in
the
situation
she's
in
sometimes
she
might
be
working
with
someone,
but
another
veteran
will
come
in
and
interrupt
not
that
they're
doing
meanly
or
in
a
wrong
way.
They
just
like
hey.
How
are
you
doing
and
you're
like
I'm
with
someone?
Can
you.
C
A
E
K
N
E
N
N
E
A
N
Have
we
look
forward
to
continuing
serving
you
all
and
serving
our
veterans
and
ourselves
great
as
veterans?
I
really
love
helping
other
veterans,
because
I
can
relate
to
some
of
the
things
that
they're
going
through
myself,
because
I've
been
through
them
before
I
am
going
through
them,
so
sometimes
having
someone
else
come
and
tell
me
what
what
they
need
help
with
or
how
to
navigate
the
va
health
system
and
not
knowing
where
to
do
it.
N
N
A
All
right,
we
have
discussion
and
possible
action
on
adding
or
removing
organizations
to
the
committee
and
any
matters
this
incident
there
too
for
the
past.
What
is
it
10
months
that
we've
been
meeting
now
or
so
we
have
had
at
least
one,
maybe
two
organizations
that
we
have
really
not
been
represented
here
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
a
mechanism
to
remove
and
add
new
new
organizations
to
this
committee.
So
it's
open
to
for
discussion
as
to
how
we
can
go
about
this.
A
D
Okay,
I
already
spoke
with
the
veteran
proof,
the
female
veteran
groups
with
ms
salinas
right
now,
and
they
want
to
talk
first
within
their
own
group.
Okay
and
hopefully
that
goes
well
and
then
they
reach
out
to
us
because
they
they
still
haven't
met
yet
to
see.
So
we
can't
really
put
them
in
if
without
them
talking
to
their
group
first
and
that
meeting's
coming
up
when
man
so
on
thursday
they're
going
to
talk
in
their
meeting
and
then
they
could
get
back
with
us.
D
Like
she
said
we're
fairly
on
thursday
to
discuss
further
further,
that
is
not
one
of
the
requirements,
the
be
a
non-profit,
and
I
could
give
you
a
history
of
the
last
group
that
that
came
in
it
was
valor
and
that
was
appointed
by
the
mayor,
so
he
he
appoints.
So
I
would
assume
he
could
once
once
your
meetings
done
with,
and
hopefully
it
goes
through.
A
We
don't
know
exactly
how
the
the
city
council,
what
what
parameters
and
and
that
they
used
to
to
name
this
committee,
but
I
know
that
they're
committees,
that
that
are
veterans,
oriented
service
organizations
or
at
least
that's
what
I
believe,
but
really
the
addition
and
deletion
comes
from
the
from
from
the
city
council.
Because
that's
how
this
committee
exists,
we
were
appointed
by
the
city
council,
we're
an
extension
of
the
city
council.
A
Basically,
but
in
order
for
this
item
on
the
agenda,
in
order
for
transparency
and
be
fair
to
everybody,
and-
and
I
know
we
all
have
at
least
one-
maybe
two
names
that
we
want
to
delete-
we
need
to
give
an
opportunity
to
to
come
to
us
and
say:
look.
We
do
not
want
to
be
deleted,
but
we're
going
to
be
represented.
Our
representatives
are
going
to
be
there
and-
and
if
that
not
then
that
next
meeting
we
can
name
this
this
committees
and
and
take
action.
D
I
already
tried
mr
vilna:
I've
been
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
the
representative,
no
answer,
one
time
that
he
did
answer
a
few
months
ago.
I
told
him
you
need
to
send
someone,
because
there's
people
saying
that
that
you,
your
group,
is
not
being
representative.
He
won't.
He
demanded.
Who
are
these
people
talking
like
I'm,
not
going
to
tell
you
they're
just
they
they
want
you
to
show
up
or
or
you're
going
to
be
voted
out.
So.
K
D
The
laredo
veterans
coalition
right
and
that's
the
one
I
they've
only
showed
up
to
one
meeting,
sir,
the
very
first
one,
then
nothing
after
that:
disabled
veterans,
american
veterans,
that's
mr
contreras,
and
we
know
what
happened
with
mr
cantu,
mr
cantus,
the
one
that
used
to
bring
him.
Mr
contreras
cannot
drive.
I
don't
know
on
the
conditions
of
mr
cantu.
Is
he
getting
ready
to
come
back?
No
okay,
but
maybe
we
could
extend
that
one
a
little
longer,
but
the
loreto
veterans
coalition
that
one's
the
one
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
people.
D
C
D
K
K
C
Yes
and
and
the
other
gentleman
who
won't
be
coming
into
town
anytime
soon
because
he's
extremely
ill.
I
think
that
we
could,
if
we
can
just
give
him
the
opportunity.
Just
let
him
know
I
mean
the
on
the
other
organization.
I
don't
know
what
the
situation
is,
but
on
dav,
mr
lupe
can
speak
to
mr
contreras
and
they
can
when
they
meet
sometime
this
week,
or
I
mean
sometime
this
month
or
next
month,
you
know,
and
then
at
least
afford
on
the
opportunity.
K
A
And
see
we
can
get
someone,
we
can
simplify
the
motion
together,
but
just
withdraw
the
motion
and
just
make
a
motion
that
we
recommend
the
city
council
delete
the
radio
veterans
corporation,
okay
and
that
will
give
opportunity
to
all
of
you
to
speak
to
the
dav
and
the
next
meeting.
You
give
us
a
report
and
then
we'll
take
action.
Then
we
can
continue.
N
D
A
B
B
A
Unfortunately,
in
long-term
care
right
now
in
that
very
massage
facility
in
the
mcallen
area,
so
he
can
obviously
be
here,
but
I
do
agree
that
we
need
to
wait,
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
them.
I
we
happen
to
know
that
the
rare
veteran
coalition
is
no
more
has
been
disassembled
and
no
more
active.
So
we
can
take
action
on
that
on
the
other
one.
We
do
need
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
our
for
a
request.
A
So
with
that
said
any
further
discussion,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
that
we
recommend
to
the
city
council,
that
we
delete
the
laredo
veterans
coalition
organization
from
this
committee
and
to
make
an
attempt
with
the
dav
to
see
if
they
can
change
the
representative
to
represent
their
organization.
At
this
committee,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
K
E
Mr
chairman,
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment
on
this
same
item
on
the
same
agenda
item,
so
I
think
that
this
brought
up
the
need
for
this
committee.
Since
this
committee
is
active
and
and-
and
you
all
are
working
on
a
lot
of
great
projects,
I
think
it
highlights
the
need
for
some
some
roles,
like
mr
reece
brought
up
like.
E
Maybe
there
needs
to
be.
I
know
that
with
every
committee
meeting
there's
some
rules
where
it's
like,
if
you
don't
attend
three
times
you're
out
or
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
clear
rules
for
this
committee
as
far
as
attendance
and
things
like
that,
because
we
don't
want
to
come
across
as
being
like.
Well,
if
you
you
know,
if
you're
sick
and
then
you're
out
and
we're
going
to
kick
you
out
or
you
know,
I
think
we
want
to
be
inclusive.
E
A
A
Members
of
the
city
council
were
not
showing
up
and
it
got
out
of
hand
about.
I
don't
know
five
six
years
ago
and
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
again,
but
but
it's
happening
now,
the
other
member
of
the
city
council
has
been
to
one
meeting
to
this
committee.
Since
we
started
how
long
was
it
eight
months
or
so
ago,
one
month,
so
he
was
here
for
for
the
first
meeting
and
he
hasn't
showed
up
since
then.
A
I
have
not
brought
it
up
because
it
just
so
happened
that
my
son
was
one
of
the
members
of
that
committee
at
that
time.
But
it
was
that's,
that's
something
else
you
know,
but
that's
why
I've
been
quiet
about
this
because
I
did
not
want
to
sound
like
I
was
picking
on
on
anybody,
but
it
is
a
fact
and
there's
rules
that
we
have
and
we
do
need
to
follow
them.
However,
we
do
need
to
and
that's
why
I
made
sure
that
you
were
here.
A
The
records
show
that
you
were
here
and
that's
permissible
in
all
committees
and
all
of
government
organizations,
but
we
do
need
to
understand
that
we,
the
world
is
changing
and
technology
is,
is
so
much,
but
you
also
need
to
understand.
There's
a
lot
of
us
and
whether
I
said
it
earlier
and
I
meant
to
say
something
I
didn't
about
us,
older
veterans
in
the
walking
trail.
Well,
some
of
us
can't
walk
that
trail.
Well,
maybe
you
can,
but
I
can't
he
doesn't
say
what
I
mean.
A
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is
that
there's
changing
situations
in
our
lives
and
and
just
like
the
virtual
part
of
this
particular
gentleman
cannot
participate,
but
we
do
need
to
be
aware
of
all
the
technology
available
to
us
to
be
able
to
accommodate
everybody,
and
we
hope
that
more
people
start
showing
up
with
with
ideas
just
the
general
public.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
warrior
or
a
defender
of
freedom
to
join
the
these
meetings
here
and
give
your
opinion.
A
This
mic
is
open
to
everybody
that
can
come
and
make
a
comment
to
this
committee
for
the
welfare
of
our
veterans
and
I'd
like
that
message
to
be
sent
out
and
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
we
will
accept
anybody
that
come
out
here
and
make
any
comments,
suggestions
or
any
words
that
would
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
the
veterans
in
our
in
our
city
and
county.
So
it
is
open
to
everybody,
and
this
microphone
will
be
open
to
anybody.
That
has
anything
positive
to
say.
A
If
you
come
out
here
to
say
negative
things,
you
will
not
be
welcome,
but
anybody
else
is
certainly
welcome.
Whether
you're
veteran
defender
with
a
freedom,
a
warrior
or
just
somebody
in
the
public
that
understands
what
you,
what
warriors
have
been
through
in
order
to
preserve
the
freedoms
that
we
enjoy
in
the
united
states
of
america,
anybody
else.
A
A
It
would
have
to
be
up
to
the
city
council,
but
if
you
come
out
here
and
approach
us
to
be
a
member
and
and
present
the
qualifications
council
person
perez
was
take
it
to
the
city
council
and
present
it
to
the
city
council,
and
they
will
make
the
decision
whether
to
include
you
or
not,
it's
not
up
to
us,
but
we
will
do
everything
we
can
to
have
everybody
included
in
our
committee.
That
will
be
a
positive
person
or
organization
that
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
your
warriors.
A
A
As
you
know,
there
are
some
rules
here
that
that
we
have
agreed
to
expand
them
a
little
bit
and
allow
persons
to
make
public
comments
a
little
longer
in
the
three
minutes,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
the
information
that
we
need
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
the
warriors
that
we
represent.
All
right.
A
I
agree,
however,
we're
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
allow
that,
because
of
the
time
that
all
of
us
are
being
able
to
come
here-
and
I
know
some
of
us
are
going
to
have
to
leave
here
in
a
little
bit,
but
but
then
we're
done
with
the
agenda
on
this
there's
some
some
other
information
or
comments.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
roger,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
adjourn.
We
have
a
second
thank
you.
All,
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
aye,
allah.
