El Paso is a 400-year-old community with roots that reach back to Native Americans, Spanish conquistadores, Mexican immigrants and American pioneers. This unique blend of cultures and customs makes a city of 700,000 feel like a small town. Friendly people, sunny weather and a range of outdoor recreation add to the quality of life. Ranked as the second safest city in the United States, El Paso also offers a world-class symphony orchestra, nationally recognized museum of art and a vibrant cultural scene.

Back when Texas was still Tejas, El Paso, the second oldest settlement in the United States, was the main crossing on the Rio Grande. It still plays that role today, its 700,000 residents joining with another 1.7 million across the river in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to form the largest binational (and bilingual) megalopolis in North America. The northern reaches are taken up by the giant Fort Bliss military base, where two museums trace the military history of the city from adobe Spanish outpost to largest air defense center in the western world. Its dramatic setting, however, where the Franklin Mountains meet the Chihuahua desert, gives it a certain bold, rough pioneer edge. In addition to reminiscing with old friends, and meeting a few new ones, take this opportunity to enjoy a unique and beautiful city.

A re-flagging ceremony which was held at Fort Bliss in March 2007. The 1/77 Armor was assigned to the Fourth Brigade (Highlanders) of the First Armored Division (Old Ironsides) at that time.
