Today we had a special gathering in Balmorhea, to remember, honor & salute our dear veterans, our true heroes. The love & devotion these individuals express as they serve our country can only be described as selflessness in the highest sense of the word. Thank you Lord for enabling so many brave & courageous souls to live out John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
Our veterans make me proud to be an American!
"God bless America!"

Dear Maria,
God bless you and your family. I salute you. I am amazed at your pictures. You don't know how much it means to me. I am about to go to Iraq again for the third time. I am glad that in this country there are people like you. Take care and god bless you once again.
