Volunteer Alicia and Tom Evers of Tyler, Texas along with Chaplain Outland assisted Camp Mystic relief efforts.
Dale Outland is no stranger to being called to provide emotional and spiritual support to families and Post 178 veterans who have dealt with tragedy. As post chaplain he completes buddy checks with members who are experiencing major health problems, giving them words of comfort.
Chaplain Outland, who is a 14-year U.S. Army infantry veteran, is also a former disaster chaplain volunteer for the Austin Disaster Relief Network. As a disaster chaplain he has assisted in providing services and resources to families affected by hurricanes in South Texas.
After his military service, he served 23 years as a Mississippi police officer and 10 years in the MS State Guard, attaining the rank of Command Sergeant Major. As the result of major hurricanes, he helped provide police security and safety operations for Red Cross shelters.
Additionally, as a disaster chaplain volunteer for the Crisis Response Ministry of Collin County Law Enforcement he recently answered the call to deploy to the Kerrville, Texas flood area. He was contacted in July to assist families and first responder volunteers affected by the recent disastrous flooding of the Guadalupe River. He was assigned to the Camp Mystic site near Hunt, Tx. During his weeklong stay, he frequently met and prayed with parents, families and friends of flood victims, as well as volunteer responders, to provide spiritual and emotional support.
Chaplain Outland shared that it was tremendously sad to see the extent of the devastation and loss of life, but he felt grateful to share the word and strength of God’s blessings.

SAVE THE DATE!! The Frisco Purple Heart Monument team invites you to join us in honoring America’s heroes at the dedication of the new Purple Heart Monument at the Frisco Veterans Memorial on Saturday, September 20, 2025 @ 9:00 AM. More than a medal, the Purple Heart is a sacred emblem of sacrifice, awarded to those combat veterans killed or wounded in service to our nation. It bears witness to courage unshaken and the profound price of preserving our freedom. We extend our sincere gratitude for your financial contribution, which played an important role in enabling our Purple Heart monument project to be fully funded through donations.
Please wear your American Legion Cap.
Frisco Purple Heart Monument Dedication
Frisco Veterans Memorial – Frisco Commons Park
8000 McKinney Rd, Frisco, TX 75033
Saturday, September 20, 2025 @ 9:00 – 10:30 AM
Dedication Event Speaker – Captain Florent A. “Flo” Groberg, U.S. Army (Retired)
Recipient of the Medal of Honor, Bronze Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Purple Heart
We are confident that the final three-piece, seven-foot-tall design will be well received, reflecting the honor, dignity, and reverence this monument deserves. Guided by meaningful input from local Frisco veterans, including Purple Heart recipients, it will stand as a lasting tribute of remembrance and gratitude for their noble service. One noteworthy aspect of the monument is the inclusion of two Honor Guard sentinel figures—intended to inspire a deeper sense of solemnity and respect.
This addition stands as a fitting tribute, joining our Frisco Veterans Memorial site that already honors service and sacrifice through its many cherished elements: the original 1948 Frisco Garden Club Veterans Memorial urn, a solemn Battlefield Cross, plaques recounting 17 wars and conflicts since Frisco’s founding, the Veterans Walk of Honor, the Frisco KIA Wall of Honor, the POW/MIA flag and plaque, the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, and the inspiring World War II Flyboy statue. Together, they form a place of honor, remembrance, gratitude, and enduring respect.
