Edinburg, Texas (Jan. 28, 2026) Retired Navy Veteran Baldemar Garcia Jr. smokes and preps his meats to serve during Chamber of Commerce Petty Officer Jose Saenz High "Steaks" Cook off competition on January 28, 2026, during Edinburg, Tx., Navy Week. Rio Grande Valley Navy Week is the first of 12 Navy Weeks taking place in 2026 as part of the Navy Office of Community Outreach’s “Road Trip to 250,” a nationwide effort supporting America's 250th birthday, Freedom 250. Navy Weeks bring a variety of assets, equipment, and personnel to a single city for a weeklong series of engagements designed to connect communities across America with their Navy, highlighting shared history and the enduring commitment to defending freedom and supporting the nation’s independence. Each year, the program reaches more than 30 million people—about half of the U.S. population. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Melanie Perez)
