CONGRESSMAN RUBÉN HINOJOSA TO HONOR RGV WWII VETERANS DURING "A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE" TRIBUTE ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2014

Washington, D.C.--Today-- Congressman Rubén Hinojosa will pay tribute to all surviving Rio Grande Valley Veterans of World War II and to the surviving family members of veterans who have passed away, at 10:00 a.m., Monday, November 10, 2014 at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, 118 Paseo Del Prado off of 5501 S. McColl Road, Edinburg, Texas.

Jr. ROTC cadets from all four Edinburg High Schools and cadets from PSJA will be in attendance. These cadets will be part of the program during the invocation, the pledge of allegiance and will accompany each of our WWII Veterans. The Donna High School Jr. ROTC U.S. Marine Sword Detail will create an arch with their swords where the WWII Veterans will enter the Conference Center. The Edinburg North High School Golden Blues Choir will sing the national anthem, and the Brownsville Fire Department Bagpipes and Drums will welcome the WWII Veterans upon their entry to the event.

"While honoring those who fought and died during the D-Day invasion in France 70 years ago, I felt compelled to honor our brave WWII veterans from the Rio Grande Valley. As time passes, we are losing so many of our WWII Veterans and my hope is to remind the younger generation of the sacrifices that were made by these heroes who are from what we call the "Greatest Generation."
