- Earlier today I had the opportunity to visit with the middle school students of one of my own former students, Neff Blackmon. As a former teacher it was an honor to speak to a former student’s class. Nef and I share a passion for teaching and underscored the importance of civic duty to the students.

On October 13th, the United States Navy will celebrate its 237th year of military service. Fort Worth, which started as an Army outpost on the banks of the Trinity River, shares the Navy's deep military history. Just recently we joined the ...Navy in commissioning the USS Fort Worth, the most recent addition to the Navy’s fleet and an important extension of our city's legacy. To honor the Navy's birthday, join me in remembering the dedicated sailors who have protected our seas for over two centuries. http://goo.gl/EqMbGSee MoreKay Granger shared a link.
Today is the first ever International Day of the Girl Child, set aside to honor the unique and basic rights of all girls around the world. This week Malala Yousufzai, a fourteen-year-old Pakistani girl, was brutally attacked for promoting ...her educational rights. The Taliban is not only taking full credit for the attack, but is making further threats on Malala’s life if she continues to defy them. Although as women we have come a long way, stories like these show us the fight for the rights of girls must continue.
