A new non-profit organization called Texas Outdoor Heroes is opening a Wharton County chapter to honor local veterans. The group’s founder, Eric Munoz Sr., wants to take veterans outdoors to help them relax and feel appreciated. The Wharton County branch will be led by Chon Ozuna, a former volunteer firefighter. This year’s activities will be limited to a dinner/dance event on May 20th at the American Legion Hall. Admission is free for veterans and their spouses and $25 for the general public. The event will include speeches, honoring selected veterans, auctions, drawings, and a DJ dance.
