Dec 25, 2020 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean Leave a Comment

That situation not only continues 35 years later, but it’s also hitting home today with a multitude of North Texans finding themselves going without. Many of these people would have never … [Read more...] about MySweetFlashMob #5: Do They Know It’s Christmas?

Nov 10, 2020 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

As the baby boomer generation seeks refuge in smoothing away wrinkles and weighing Medicare health plans, the “greatest generation” that heroically took to the trenches of World War II and spawned the boomers is getting fewer and fewer. Instead of the vibrant young people who crossed seas to fight against evil, they are now relying on wheelchairs, caretakers and memories of … [Read more...] about Reimagined Veterans Day To Commemorate The 75th Anniversary Of The End Of World War II
