TYLER — A public flag-raising at 8:00 this morning dedicates Smith County’s new Armed Forces Reserve Center, part of the military’s Base Realignment and Closure project. The facility, basically a training center, puts local Army Reserve and National Guard functions all under one roof. First Sgt. Christopher Cassano of the 141st Quartermaster Company says it’ll be a big benefit to the local military. Cassano says features include up-to-date classrooms with projection screens, a gymnasium a big motor park, and a big maintenance facility. The location is Highway 31 across from the old Kelly-Springfield, or Goodyear, plant.
