The Derek Hernandez Police Training Facility is named in honor of the Marine lance corporal who was born and raised in Edinburg and planned to pursue a career in law enforcement. The summer after graduating from Edinburg High School in 2008, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. “He was a very young man full of faith,” Anita Reyna, Hernandez’s aunt told The Rider. Reyna said that Hernandez told her before he was deployed that he was going to “leave a mark” in his hometown. Derek Hernandez After serving as a military policeman and infantryman for two years, Hernandez died on June 6, 2010, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, while supporting combat operations. He was 20 years old. Mayor Richard Molina, a U.S. Army veteran, proposed that the building be named in honor of the fallen Marine after meeting the Hernandez family on several occasions, he told The Rider. “They had always conveyed to me that because he was one of the last soldiers that had died in the line of battle, he didn’t have anything in his honor,” Molina said. “So, I knew it was very THE RIDER FILE PHOTO important to find something to name.” Dancers dressed in the traditional costume of Jalisco, Mexico, and charros are shown as they celebrate the “Hopefully, when we are long gone from here, Derek Charreada at UTRGV and Texas Southmost College outside the Oliveira Student Services Center last year.
