How To Spot A Hero That Isn’t From El Paso
There are a few ways to spot out someone who wasn’t born and raised here in El Paso. My military friends stood out since they didn’t consider our cold, cold. Military friends have traveled near and far but if they’re from Chicago or Denver, our cold is nothing compared to theirs. Somewhere you will spot more than one is at the Wal-Mart on Dyer and Fred Wilson. I see a lot of customers that go shopping in shorts, flip flops, and maybe a hoodie. You can spot out an El Pasoan if they’re bundled up in layers in low 50-degree weather. Another obvious clue to tell that someone isn’t from El Paso is when they wear a uniform every day and work on base. Besides the famous heroic olive green uniform they wear for work there's another clue to look out for. Their symbolic military haircut is also another dead giveaway that they're not from here.
