Good morning, Midland.

The American Legion Post 430 commemorated Veterans Day yesterday by offering programs and benefits to honor veterans in Midland — a tradition that supports local service members and their families.

The group provided resources that continue its long commitment to veteran care.

The Scharbauer Foundation has given a $2 million grant to the Midland Education Foundation to boost teacher recruitment & retention and improve instructional quality at local junior highs; the funds will provide math and reading teacher stipends over two school years, expand leadership training, and support campus upgrades.

Today, St. Ann's Catholic School hosted its annual Veterans Day parade to honor veterans as students' family members drove by honking their horns.

The parade—started during the pandemic—shows how the school values service and sacrifice.

The University of Texas Permian Basin honored veterans in a ceremony Tuesday morning that featured the UTPB Band playing service branch songs and concluding with Taps to remember fallen members.

The event also recognized Odessa Fire and Rescue Pipe Drum and the Honor Guard for presenting the colors.
