Abilene's TET Reunion is a celebration of all branches of the American Military and all conflicts. Veterans and their families are invited to attend on February, 4th.

This event is no longer happening.

The Taylor County Veterans Services Office will hold the first Big Country Veterans Appreciation Feast at the Taylor County Expo Center on Friday, November 5.

Remembering when Gary Morris dedicated his song “Faith and Freedom” as a thank you to our troops for the July fourth holiday.

Apparently, the Army is having trouble meeting its enlistment numbers so, signing up just got easier.

Our military veterans have given so much of themselves to protect us that it seems impossible to repay them. Here are a few businesses that will be offering special Veteran's Day discounts.

Have you ever wondered about the coins that seem to be placed on top of military headstones at cemeteries? You might be surprised to find out their meaning.

Singer/songwriter Madonna Nash was inspired to write the song 'Don't Leave' by a friend who is a military wife. All the wife was asking for, was a little more time with the man she so dearly loves. The song struck a nerve with me because I remember when I was a kid, mom saying the very same thing to my dad before he was deployed to Vietnam. It's the very same thing I envision many military spouses

That's right -- we're still posting 'Call Me Maybe' videos. Deal with it! This one's got soldiers serving in Afghanistan, so it's sort of our civic responsibility to share it with the world.

What could be more American than some football and our military? The Abilene Ruff Riders have been on the road the last 3 weeks but this Memorial Day Monday they will be at home and celebrating our military.  Military Appreciation Night will be full of fun, football and give-a-ways.

Abilene is a unique community with our ties to the military and Dyess Air Force Base. We have a great fondness of our military personnel that will be celebrated this weekend at the Abilene Zoo's, Zoolute to Dyess day. Join in all fun activities Saturday, May 19th.

We have the best military in the world and they just keep coming up with more technology to make the job easier and more efficient. There is a new plane out there that is currently undergoing testing and it is super cool. It's called the F-35B and it can land vertically (like a helicopter).
