November 12,  2018 By Dom DiFurio Good morning! Here is a look at the top headlines as we start the day. 🌧️Weather: Cloudy with rain ending in the afternoon. [Possible snow](.

Akard Street during the annual Veterans Day parade on Friday, November 10, 2017 in downtown Dallas. (Ashley Landis/The Dallas Morning News) Veterans day Dallas Veterans Day parade canceled as forecast for severe weather raises safety concerns Dallas [won’t be having its Veterans Day Parade in downtown]( on Monday morning as planned. Officials said Sunday afternoon that they made the decision to cancel the parade because the forecast for severe conditions had raised "overwhelming safety concerns." The weather is expected to be cold and cloudy, with a strong chance of rain. The high is expected to be 46, with a low of 34 and winds of 20 to 30 mph. Also: On Veterans Day, [President George W. Bush]( continues to unite and divide on military matters. Meanwhile: After nearly seven decades, a Dallas-born Korean War vet [is finally coming home](.

Though Republicans held on against the current in statewide races, Latinos helped send El Paso’s Veronica Escobar and Houston’s Sylvia Garcia of Houston to D.C. They’ll be the state’s first two Latinas to represent the state in Congress. Democrats won 12 Texas House seats, including five in Dallas, and unseated two North Texas Republican state senators. And the surge of Latino voters across the state almost made the difference in the nationally watched Senate race between Beto O’Rourke and Ted Cruz. Commentary: Can a Democrat [ever win the hearts of rural Texans](? And: Native Texans [voted for native Texan Beto O'Rourke while transplants went for Ted Cruz](, exit polling shows. commentary If talent trumps all for Amazon HQ2, will Dallas have enough of it? Business columnist Mitchell Schnurman writes: Washington and New York have something that Dallas doesn’t, and not just sky-high home prices and apartment rents. The two major metros have much larger, deeper pools of talent — both in college-educated millennials and tech workers. They’re also much stronger magnets for college graduates. So if news reports about Amazon choosing to put its second headquarters in Washington and New York are accurate, the reason will be clear: [Talent trumps all, at least for Amazon](. Dallas can go toe-to-toe with anywhere when it comes to recruiting companies, and its relatively low cost of living can be decisive. But today's job market is all about the war for talent — and on that score, Dallas can’t match the firepower of the East Coast capitals. Also: Fidelity president Kathleen Murphy [is fed up with the investment world being created by men in the image of men]( at the expense of women. And: Is Walmart a winner [if Amazon HQ2 skips Texas](?

(Tom Fox/The Dallas Morning News) Finally... Cowboys turned in one of their best games in 27-20 win in Philadelphia The Cowboys spent the days leading up to Sunday night's game being derided and dismissed. Discussion didn't focus on the remainder of this season. Skeptics had moved on to a future without head coach Jason Garrett and scratched their heads over a declaration by owner Jerry Jones that he intends to extend quarterback Dak Prescott. All of the elements were in place for this team to fold. [Instead, players and coaches responded with one of their better efforts of the season for a 27-20 victory over Philadelphia.]( 👋 That's all for this morning!
