Generations of the Tommy Taylor Family Have Proudly Served Our Country
African Americans have played vital roles in America’s Armed Services’ disputes for land, wealth and freedom, dating from the Revolutionary War through the desegregation of the Armed Forces to the Gulf War, and even now with our stance on Afghanistan and Russia. African Americans regularly contributed to this country’s Armed Forces by any means needed or required. Thus, their extraordinary skillfulness to learn complicated military competencies, which seemed highly peculiar for military leaders to understand, prompted these leaders to give African American soldiers notable names like “Buffalo Soldiers” and “Tuskegee Airmen” that we still hear about today. History is chock-full of heroic and courageous African American men and women who laid down their lives for their enduring love of the United States of America.
Urban and Homeowner Soil Testing Campaign Runs Through March 4
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service of Fayette, Washington, Austin, and Colorado Counties are conducting an urban and homeowner soil testing campaign Feb. 10 through March 4. All plants need adequate amounts of nutrients to grow and flourish. Some plants have different soil requirements, for example, are you trying to produce vibrant flowers, an immaculate turf for yard of the month, or to grow the best produce in the county? A soil test can narrow down what is avail able to the plants you grow to make balanced fertilizer applications that will help them thrive.
