I hope they know, somehow, that the majority of Americans are horrified at all that has transpired the past 2+ years and want only to see it end.

They bought their 1st house in El Paso. After Dad's tour in Germany was up, he was stationed at Ft. Bliss, so I lived in El Paso from the time I was about 2 until I started Kindergarten. The family spent a lot of time going over the boarder to Juarez. I have many fond memories. Never have a seen two boarder cities so intertwined. It really is like just one city. Sometimes I miss that place.

Thank you Juarez for standing and supporting your neighbors in El Paso!

This should make El Paso stronger. Never been there..but the way people talk about it certainly makes you want to go.

Thanks for posting ! Beautiful.

The first 5 kids were born in the states and live/lived in either El Paso or Las Cruces, NM.
The second 5 kids were born in Mexico and all live in Juarez.
I have cousins, aunts, uncles on both sides

I spent time on both sides and the metropolitan area had about 6 million (most in Juarez).
There probably are just as many families affected by this shooting in Juarez as there are
in El Paso, because of all the relationships.

This does not surprise me.
Thank you!

And one of the sites was Juarez. Those callers were nicer than the Americans sometimes. Good people that loved America.
