April 5, 2023 - VFW Post 8904 Veterans and Auxiliary members honored those veterans who served in Somalia during a ceremony held March 31, 2023.

The program was opened with a prayer led by Kenneth Ramsey, Post Chaplain, and the ceremony was led by Larry Hume, Post Quartermaster.

A moment of silence was observed for those nine Army veterans who were killed when two helicopters recently collided in Kentucky.

Post Quartermaster Larry Hume stated, "Americans consider themselves to be a compassionate people, and the United States military has a long tradition of humanitarian relief operations both within and outside the continental United States, but never has this humanitarian impulse proven more dangerous to follow than in 1992 when the United States intervened to arrest famine in the midst of an ongoing civil war in the East African country of Somalia."

Hume continued, “Ultimately hundreds of thousands were saved from starvation, but unintended involvement in Somalian civil strife cost the lives of 30 American soldiers, four Marines, and eight Air Force personnel during the years of 1992 to 1994. The American military had established the conditions for peace in the midst of a famine and civil war but unlike later in Bosnia, the factions were not exhausted from the fighting and were not yet willing to stop killing each other and anyone caught in the middle. There was no peace to keep and the United States withdrew all military combat troops in March of 1994.

“The American G.I. had as always done their best under difficult circumstances to perform a complex, and often confusing mission, but the best military in the world can only lay the foundation for peace; they cannot create peace itself."

In honor of the Veterans who served in Somalia, Post member Sean Martin placed the the memorial wreath. Taps was then sounded as presented by Past Post Commander Gene Hutto in honor of those lost in Somalia and those who served and survived, but have since passed.

April 5, 2023 - We, the family of Minister Jerry Glenn Lathan, are deeply and sincerely grateful for each and every expression of love and concern extended to us during our period of bereavement. We have been comforted by your visits, calls, texts, prayers, and all other forms of thoughtful deeds.

A special acknowledgement of appreciation to the City of Center and its council. Jerry loved his time served with the city and your expression of love at his celebration of life was noticed and was a comfort.

May God bless each of you.

Sincerely,
Minister Jerry Glenn Lathan Family

April 5, 2023 - The Shelby County Commissioners designated April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month during their meeting held Wednesday, April 5, 2023.

Before approving the proclamation Allison Harbison, Shelby County Judge, read it aloud as follows:

“Whereas, during the month of April 2023 Shelby County Children’s Advocacy Center will observe National Child Abuse Prevention Month to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect and create strong communities to support the strengthening and healing of abused children and their non-offending family members, and

“Whereas, each year multiple Shelby County Children are confirmed victims of child abuse and neglect and it’s prevention is a count-wide responsibility, and

“Whereas, Shelby County Children’s Advocacy Center serves abused and neglected children, as well as their non-offending family members each year, and

“Whereas, it is important to remember that children are our future, and we must nurture and protect them and provide a safe environment in which they will grow and prosper.

“Now, therefore be it resolved that the Commissioners Court of the County of Shelby hereby recognizes and proclaims April 2023 to be Child Abuse Prevention Month in Shelby County, Texas and urges all citizens to work together to help significantly reduce child abuse and neglect in our community.”

Denise Merriman, Shelby County Children's Advocacy Center Executive Director, shared some of the statistics from the past year involving children they have served.

“I think our families served was about 250, and then that includes about 150 new victims,” said Merriman. “That’s pretty consistent what we see year to year.”

She further elaborated on the continuing issue in Shelby County and an exciting and hopeful thing she says CACTX who most of their grants come through is shifting focus to try and end child sexual abuse.

“We’re just hopeful in that effort it’s going to make a huge dent in the number of cases we see,” said Merriman. “I think that’s always been, I think in the back of everyone’s mind, ‘Can we end this? Can we do something to stop it? What are we doing on the prevention side?’ Instead of just the detection and treatment.”

April 4, 2023 - A proclamation signing for Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month was held at the Shelby County Courthouse on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 in the 273rd District Courtroom.

Several families were present for the reading by Allison Harbison, Shelby County Judge, and following the reading they gathered at the Judges bench for the signing and  photo with Judge Harbison. 

Judge Harbison read the following proclamation, “World Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month Proclamation

“Whereas autism spectrum disorder can cause challenges with verbal and nonverbal communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors, and can affect anyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background; and

“Whereas autism is often accompanied by medical conditions that impact quality of life; and

“Whereas a comprehensive, collaborative approach will help to advance research, providing a better understanding of the many forms of autism, strengthen advocacy efforts and ensure access to services and resources throughout the lifespan and across the spectrum; and,

“Whereas early diagnosis and intervention tailored to individual needs can have lifelong benefits, easing the transition to adulthood and fostering greater independence; and,

“Whereas each person and family affected by autism should have access to reliable information and supports; and

“Whereas autistic people should have opportunities to reach their full potential and the whole of society stands to benefit from this: and,

“Whereas Shelby County, Texas is honored to take part in the annual observance of World Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month to address the diverse needs of individuals with autism and their families

“Therefore I, County Judge Allison Harbison, do hereby proclaim April 2023 as World Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month in Shelby County, Texas to create a kinder, more inclusive world for people with autism spectrum disorder.”

March 31, 2023 - VFW Post 8904 and Auxiliary members gathered at the Shelby County Veterans Memorial March 29, 2023, in recognition of National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

An opening prayer was led by Kenneth Ramsey, Post Chaplain, and the program was led by Larry Hume, Post Quartermaster.

Hume informed everyone that the days event marked 50 years since the last combat troops left Vietnam on March 29, 1973, and is now known as National Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day.

“Today we have the opportunity to not only pause and reflect, but to remember and honor the memory of the more than 58,000 men and women who gave so much, paying the ultimate sacrifice,” said Hume.

He said the occasion is also to honor the more than 3.4 million military personnel who served in the Republic of South Vietnam, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia in support of the US military operations there.

“Vietnam veterans are everyday people made extraordinary by events out of their control, they did their duty because they had a deep and abiding love for their country,” said Hume. “Our Vietnam veterans performed the highest for of public service. When it all came down to it they stood strong, and when it was needed they answered the challenge.”

Hume further described the best way to honor those veterans is to ensure that every new generation of veterans  are appreciated, and receives the dignity, respect and welcome home they have earned.

“Making sure every veteran receives the benefits and entitlements they deserve is one way of maintaining a link to thousands of men and women who helped secure so many blessings for us,” said Hume.

Hume elaborated on problems unique to Vietnam including both chemical and psychological.

“The use of Agent Orange resulted in a 15-year fight for the presumptive compensation,” said Hume.

All Vietnam veterans present for the event were invited to make themselves known. Mike Wulf, Post member and Vietnam veteran, then placed the memorial wreath.

Those in attendance then participated in reading the names of Shelby County veterans who lost their lives during the Vietnam War, and they are as follows:

  • Ted Wane Adams: Killed in Action on November 15, 1956. Vietnam Memorial Panel 12 East, Line 76.

Gene Edward Smith dated he knew both William Larry "Shorty" Andrews and Larry Stephen Byford. Ike Reeves, VFW member, remembered Stephen Lane of the Tennessee Community who was injured on a personnel carrier. Jan Ramsey, Auxiliary member, stated she had two brothers and numerous cousins who served in Vietnam and made it home safely. One cousin was a helicopter pilot, and he was wounded, once healed he returned to Vietnam and made it home after that.

Hume invited everyone to remember Shelby County Vietnam veteran Larry Durham, “He served with the United State Marine Corps in Vietnam and he was awarded the Silver Star, the third highest military decoration for valor in combat that our country can bestow. He was a 1964 graduate of Tenaha High School, and his Silver Star citation read ‘The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Larry W. Durham (MCSN: 2113914), United States Marine Corps for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Combat Engineer with Company H, Second Battalion, Fourth Marines, Ninth Marine Amphibious Brigade, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 31 March 1968, Company H was conducting a search and destroy operation in Quang Tri Province when the Marines suddenly came under a heavy volume of small arms, automatic weapons, and grenade launcher fire from a well-entrenched North Vietnamese Army force. During the ensuing assault upon the enemy emplacements, the lead element was temporarily halted and sustained several casualties, including Corporal Durham. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he maneuvered across the hazardous area to the company's rearward position and obtained a demolition charge. Ignoring his painful injuries, he returned to the point of heaviest contact and began crawling toward the hostile positions. Moving to within a few meters of the enemy soldiers, he ignited the demolition charge fuze and allowed it to burn until only a few seconds remained. Ignoring the hostile fire impacting around him, he then fearlessly ran to the nearest bunker and placed the charge on top of the emplacement, destroying the position and killing eight North Vietnamese soldiers. In large measure due to his heroic and timely actions, he was instrumental in enabling his unit to overrun the enemy positions and accounting for twelve North Vietnamese soldiers killed. By his courage, aggressive fighting spirit and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of extreme personal danger, Corporal Durham inspired all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service”. Also, for wounds received in this action, Corporal Durham was awarded the Purple Heart.’”

Taps was then played as presented by Gene Hutto, Past Post Commander.

March 27, 2023 - Today, March 27, is one of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas' Honor Days - Goliad Heroes Day.

Following the fall of the Alamo, the Mexican Army, under the command of General Santa Anna, attacked Colonel James W. Fannin's men at Goliad. Fannin was forced to surrender and on March 27, 1836, 320 prisoners were executed, the largest loss of life in the cause of Texas independence. "Remember Goliad" joined with "Remember the Alamo" as the battle cries heard at the battle of San Jacinto.

The DRT William Carroll Crawford Chapter encourage everyone to fly your Texas flag to honor the heroes of Goliad.

March 24, 2023 - VFW Post 8904 Veterans and Auxiliary members remembered those who served in Kosovo during Operation Allied Force during a ceremony held March 24, 2023, at the Shelby County Veterans Memorial.

“Twenty-four years ago, on March 24, 1999 NATO launched an air campaign called Operation Allied Force to halt the humanitarian devastation that was unfolding in Kosovo,” said Larry Hume, Post Quartermaster. “The decision to intervene followed more than a year of fighting within the province and the failure of international efforts to resolve the conflict by diplomatic means.”

Hume continued, by stating NATO announced the suspension of the air campaign on June 10, 1999 once it had concluded a military technical agreement within the federal republic of Yugoslavia.

“NATO casualties were light, and the alliance suffered no fatalities as a result of combat operations,” said Hume.

Hume shared that two American Army helicopter pilots Chief Warrant Officer 3 David Gibbs, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin L. Reichert, died when their A64 helicopter crashed in the early hours of May 5, 1999.

“Now the crash was not due to enemy fire, but two of America’s finest died that day serving their country,” said Hume.

VFW Post 8904 member and Kosovo Veteran Stephen Smiley placed a memorial wreath in honor of those who served. Taps was then placed as presented by Richard Lundie, Post Commander.

“Today our presence is a small, but heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the Kosovo veterans who served and if it were not for you everyone here today, this small band of Patriots, this day would have gone on unnoticed in Shelby County Texas,” said Hume. “The service and the sacrifices of these veterans would not have been remembered and we cannot let any group of veterans be forgotten. That is our charge, a charge that we take very seriously as a sacred duty.”
