Does anybody know who the oldest living Military Veteran in Dawson County is? The LVA is needing to know for recognition purposes

Before I left Mississippi and crossed the river, I stopped off at the Vicksburg Civil War Battleground National Park. This was a very sobering experience. The terrain, the challenges, the ideals being fought for. Friend vs friend, brother vs brother. Very interesting if you are ever that way.

Made the drive over to Tuskegee Alabama. Went to the training facility of the Tuskegee Airmen. Quite a moving experience when you read about what they had to go through just to defend the country they loved.

While in Montgomery Alabama, I went to find the grave of the king of country, and saw these. Rows and rows of unknown confederate civil war soldiers at the Old Oakwood Cemetery. Think what you want, but it does bring a tear to see a soldier’s grave marked unknown. May as well say unclaimed.
Yes I found Hank!

Today we remembered and honored Mr. Albert M. Neault, Pvt- US Army
Vietnam Combat Veteran, LVA member. It was a brief ceremony to honor his life, legacy, servitude and sacrifice. From the obituary reading, amazing grace on bagpipes to a roll call and the playing of taps, it was a great little service. Thanks to all the members that were there, the Lamesa Fire Department and Gonzales Funeral home.

Memorial services for Mr. Albert Neault, 79, will be held Saturday March 21st at 1400 at his home in Lamesa Tx. Big Al as some of us knew him went to his heavenly home on February 26 2026. Albert was most proud of his service in the US Army. He served as a private in the Vietnam war. Serving from 1968-1971. Albert rarely spoke of his service in Vietnam. Some say that’s how you know they were there, just proving more the things he witnessed and wanted to forget. The Lamesa Veterans Association, that Albert was a member of, filled the comradery that many soldiers long for. The LVA will be holding the memorial service to honor and remember him. This is done at the request of his wife and daughter, who he loved with every ounce of his heart. Albert was well known throughout the community for riding his motorized wheelchair around town while he was running errands, going to the grocery store and getting his magazines. If you knew Albert, you knew where you stood with him. He said it how it was. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife and daughter, friends and the veteran community.
