Memorial Day is a time to remember those men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Service with honor and distinction said Commissioner Bush. Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are hallowed grounds that express our respect for those who served but also provide solace and serenity for the family members and friends that are still living. We would also like to encourage members of the community to assist with placing flags on each grave at all cemeteries in preparation for Memorial Day.
