Thank you, Larry Jokl, for being such an active member of the organization that was able to do this for the Veterans from Brownsville, many of whom left
school and classes with us in order to go serve in Viet Nam and those that went even after graduation. This is a great effort to recognize those that
had the guts to go and defend me and you from people who refuse to accept
that we all on kind and should not endorse any kind of war.It is also an honor to be side-by-side with Jose Lopez, our local hero and relative.
Great but the fence looks like shit. Hopefully they will raise it up some day.
does it have gas or diesel?
