'It was the greatest honor of my life' | Terlingua on Main hosts Veterans Day event to honor local military heroes

A celebration of bravery and service

Terlingua on Main hosted its annual Veterans Day event on Friday, November 11, 2023, to honor local military heroes. The event featured a special presentation by retired Army Colonel Ralph Puckett, who spoke about his experiences serving in the Vietnam War.

A day to remember

The event was a moving tribute to the men and women who have served our country. Puckett's speech was particularly inspiring, as he shared his firsthand account of the war and the sacrifices that he and his fellow soldiers made. He also spoke about the importance of remembering those who have served, both past and present.

A community grateful

"It was the greatest honor of my life to serve my country," Puckett said. "And it is an honor to be here today to speak to you about the importance of remembering our veterans." Puckett's speech was followed by a luncheon and a special performance by the Terlingua Community Band. The event was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and show their support for our veterans.
