Greeting the Troops
Over 240 citizens volunteered to participate in the Greet the Troops program during the week of February 2 - 8, 2009. For the past four years, the City of Euless has sponsored this worthwhile program. On Tuesday, February 10, 2009 one of Euless’ very own, Cpl. Amanda Higdon, 22, daughter of Barbara and Frank Higdon came home for her 2 week R & R. Cpl. Higdon contacted the City to be a part of her very special R & R surprise. She was picked up and taken to her home much to her mother Beth's tearful surprise! She graduated from Trinity High School in 2004 and according to her mother, "left nine days after graduation." She is currently serving at Tallil Air Base/COB Adder, Iraq. Thank you Cpl. Higdon, for your service to our great country. Look for information on future Greet the Troops programs and other great, free events sponsored by the City of Euless.
