Ty's Take

The base held its remembrance service this week the way it always does, quiet and serious, because that's what you do when you're home and some of your own aren't. Holloman's been the backbone of this town long enough that most of us know somebody who knows somebody over there, and when the flag flies at half-staff for the missing and imprisoned, it settles over all of us, not just the families.

Some days the news just reminds you what kind of place this is.
