19 May, Fort Hood, Central Texas Law Enforcement Torch Run More than 350 Fort Hood military police participated in the Central Texas Law Enforcement Torch Run. Texas law enforcement agencies raise public awareness for Special Olympics by annually carrying the torch across the state to the Texas Special Olympic Summer games, where it is used in the opening ceremonies to light the ceremonial flame.
