Child seeks bone marrow transplant

Be the Match, the national bone marrow donor program, was at the Clear Creek Commissary Saturday looking for people to register to be a bone marrow donor, in the hopes of finding a match for a Fort Hood youth fighting a rare form of leukemia and other children in desperate need for a bone marrow match. In the midst of February’s winter storm that blanketed Central Texas with snow and ice, 9-year-old Michael “MJ” Dixon was fighting a storm of his own, after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a rare form of childhood cancer in which the bone marrow cells develop errors in its DNA.

Exchange, commissary honor veterans

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, Fort Hood’s Clear Creek Exchange and Clear Creek Commissary teamed up Monday to pay tribute to the men and women who served the nation during the Vietnam War with a pinning ceremony. “These are Soldiers, Air Force, Marine and Navy personnel who fought the war and didn’t get the welcome they should have gotten when they came home,” Col. Jason Wesbrock, commander of U.S. Army Garrison – Fort Hood, said about the commemoration. In 2012, the United States began a 13-year commemoration of the Vietnam War, remembering more than 58,000 Vietnam veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice, as well as honoring nearly 500,000 troops who served in South Vietnam. In 2017, President Donald Trump designated March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

Fort Hood facility closures for Sunday

The Exchange announced that due to the approaching inclement weather, all Fort Hood Exchange facilities will be closed Sunday, with the exception of III Corps Express. “Pay at the Pump” will still be available at the 37th Street Express, Warrior Way Express, and Kouma Express.
