On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the NAACP hosted a special award ceremony in honor of military veterans throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The event was a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country. Among those honored was Debra Carroll, a retired Air Force Technical Sergeant (TSgt) and Senior Vice Commander of DAV Chapter 240. The celebration took place at The Epic in Grand Prairie, Texas, bringing veterans and community members together for an afternoon of appreciation, fellowship, and entertainment. Guests enjoyed live music, games, door prizes, and an atmosphere filled with gratitude and respect. It was a time to recognize the sacrifices, commitment, and dedication of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. AMPS Magazine would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Debra Carroll and every veteran honored for their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our freedom. Your service has made a difference, and you deserve to be celebrated. Thank you for your service!
