Ty's Take
You don't need to be from a military town to understand what happens when a base holds a memorial for the fallen. But living in one means you feel it different, especially here where Holloman has shaped this community for decades and where plenty of folks have family who've served or are serving now. Today's ceremony was the kind of thing that reminds you why September 11th doesn't fade the way other anniversaries do, and why a town like Alamogordo carries that weight longer than most. Meanwhile, down on the athletic fields this week, our kids are doing what they do every fall, and that's the other side of what it means to live here, the everyday life that keeps moving forward while we remember.
