All of us at 101.5 KNUE are proud to be part of East Texas, and we are especially proud to live in a place where we hold our military and first responders in such high regard.

KNUE + Patterson UTI are proud to announce this week’s “Hometown Hero," Trevor Yaste of the United States Marine Corps.

Mr. Yaste, of Carthage, was nominated by his girlfriend Alley Radcliff, who had this to say about Trevor:

Trevor is my boyfriend of 3 years. We have currently been apart for 10 months! I'm nominating him not only being a hero for our country but a hero to everyone he may run into. He is always bringing a smile to anyone he meets. He's currently in California at Camp Pendleton and will be deployed to Australia come early April!

To show our appreciation for Trevor's dedication and service to his country and community, he will receive a plaque courtesy of Congratulations Awards in Jacksonvillle, They specialize in awards, engraving, trophies, plaques, gifts and more. He also will also receive a gift pack from Edible Arrangements.
