Successfully…
Effectively…
With Honor !!
On the first day, 200+ patients, 40% uninsured, were served at Rio Grande City …. For some, these are the only physicians they will ever see in their entire life.
The children we served made it well worthwhile …

The Great East Texas Balloon Race
MAJ Bentley and MAJ Brooks quickly planned and implemented TMR’s response to support the TXSG 19th Brigade at the Great East Texas Balloon Race in Longview, Texas. Plans and logistics were achieved within 7 days, resulting in a seamless joint operation.
Thousands of spectators attended the Great East Texas Balloon Race and related events. The traditional “balloon glow” highlighted the event. The afternoon heat intensified toward sunset and the 19th Brigade and Rangers increased surveillance, assisting overheated folks and soldiers.
As the glow got underway, the Rangers and the 19th Brigade conducted a systematic search for a missing 9-year old girl… thanks to a quick thinking 19th MP, the band interrupted the concert and asked for assistance… the girl was found in seconds.
