“Honor. Duty. Sacrifice. No three words can be more fitting of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces,” said
Chairman George P. Bush. “As a military Veteran myself, I know firsthand what it’s like to wake up each morning, put on the uniform and report for duty. This service is not without great personal sacrifice. I invite Texans across the state to join us as we pay tribute to our military members who have served this great state and nation this Veterans Day.”
Veterans Day is a day to reflect on the heroism of the brave men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces. While we cannot have celebrations in person this year, we will continue the tradition of honoring these heroes and the sacrifices they made for their country and our freedom with a virtual ceremony on Veterans Day.
The community is invited to join us on Facebook LIVE on Wednesday, November 11th at 12:00 p.m. CST to observe a ceremony dedicated to those who devoted their lives to our nation's freedom.
