There is some horrible news out of Fort Bliss today.  An 11 month old child is dead, and El Paso Police say his 22-year-old father, a soldier stationed at Fort Bliss, murdered him.

The El Paso Zoo is growing every day. They are developing better displays, constructing more interactive features for visitors, and they're getting a 2 million dollar boost from El Paso's local billionaire. Paul Foster and his wife, Alejandra De La Vega Foster, are donating 2 million dollars to the zoo, and part of that money will provide zoo memberships for 8,000 Fort Bliss families!

Operation Homefront will be holding a food distribution at Fort Bliss for 500 families.

All six Fort Bliss and McGregor Range dining facilities will serve Thanksgiving feasts to active and retired military and their families this Wednesday and Thursday.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if you want to let someone else do the heavy lifting and just sit back and enjoy a great meal, there are a few places in town that will be open for you to nom nom nom on Turkey Day, and one that will be having Thanksgiving dinner this weekend...

My family and I have been adopting soldiers for Thanksgiving for about eight years now, ever since Ryan joined the military.  I’m ashamed to say that before Ryan joined the Army, I never really thought about the men and women in uniform who needed a nice place to be during the holidays.  But this year, that tradition is coming to an end because Fort Bliss has suspended the 'Adopt A Soldier' progra

We hear every day about our troops fighting for our freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Please help us say 'thank you for your service' to soldiers who fought two wars long ago with one last mail call during an 'Honor Flight'.

Show off your skills this Friday with night laser tag at Biggs Park.

Country star Trace Adkins is coming to Fort Bliss on October 5th.
