On Friday morning, we drove to Driscoll to attend the 5th Annual Remembrance Ceremony Honoring Driscoll’s Fallen Heroes, hosted by my Brother, Jesse Aleman. This event was on Saturday so more to come on this.
We arrived in Driscoll by noon and visited with Manuel’s oldest brother, Israel and his wife, Ida. Israel Jr. was also there and it was good spending a couple of hours there.
After our visit, we headed to Kingsville Naval Air Station where we had made reservations for the night. We checked in and found they have a brand new hotel, state of the art facility.
The main reason for staying at the base this time was because Manuel wanted to visit with his childhood friend, Homer Aleman, who is also my 1st cousin. We had seen Homer off and on at functions but Manuel wanted to spend quality time with him. Of course, it is always a pleasure seeing Homer and spending time with him. The Guys had made plans for us to go to Homer & Tina’s house and then to go to dinner.
Took pictures of a couple of jets on base. The Blue Angel….

At 5 pm, we headed to the Aleman Residence there in Kingsville. It was great visiting.
