Recently, City of Laredo Mayor Raul G. Salinas named three outstanding Laredoans as Ambassadors of the Republic of the Rio Grande, the City of Laredo’s highest recognition.
Prior to joining Texas in its fight for independence, Laredo formed its own, the Republic of the Rio Grande, seeking to be independent from both Mexico and Texas. It is that independent spirit that each honoree possesses, that has lead to this honor.
Pictured here are City of Laredo Council Member Gene Belmares, Dist. VI; Carlos Mejia, Jr. Achievement Business Hall of Fame Honoree; Norbert Dickman; Jr. Achievement Business Hall of Fame Honoree; and Mayor Salinas.
