The ceremony was enhanced by the presence of the McAllen Fire Department Pipe and Drum Corps and city leadership, including Victor “Seby” Haddad, Mayor Pro Tem and Commissioner for District 5, and Rolando “Rolly” Rios, Commissioner for District 3.
A special recognition was presented to Col. Frank Plummer, a three-war veteran who served with distinction in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, honoring his lifelong dedication to service. The event was led by Pamela Wright, President of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and reflected a collective commitment to preserving history, honoring sacrifice, and celebrating patriotism for future generations.
