Veterans Post Office named to honor Laredo's brave soldiers

By Ray Gomez

A local landmark is re-named to honor those who fought for the liberties we all enjoy.

The downtown post office is now called the Laredo Veterans Post Office, in honor of those who served this country proudly and in memory of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Almost 10% of veterans, nationwide, call Texas home, with many of them living right here in Laredo and Webb County.

What is the benefit for a war veteran with the name of this building??? NOTHING!! Not even a Taco con frijoles, it is worthless as my old shoes. These politicians needed to serve when they were young. No se pongan sombrero ajeno.

Laredo's brave soldiers.Did not know there were any left that fought the Americans in the Spanish -American War,TheMexican-Ameican War or The Alamo.Like all of the vets from other wars say,don't know what is worse,facing your enemy face to face or having a supposed hispanic friend behind your back.Don't know who will shoot you first.

I am so confussed as to why they{city officials} keep naming buildings and making landmarks to our BRAVE soldiers. Is it because voting time is comming? Help them YEAR ROUND! They should be honored EVERY day! They give up everything to serve their country yet we only honor them with buildings that do not help them in nothing. they need the help in every aspect. GET TO WORK!!!!
