The Conaway Chronicle - From Congressman Mike Conaway
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. A review of my activities in Congress and the 11th District.
Honoring Colonel Powell
I had a wonderful evening Thursday at a dinner honoring Colonel Charles Powell. Col. Powell and his wife Joanne are close friends and it was a joy to be there to celebrate as he was named a Texas Southwest Council Distinguished Citizen.Col. Powells life of service and sacrifice exemplifies the type of citizens we need to emulate and the citizen we all ought to aspire to be. Congratulations and happy birthday to an extraordinary man.
Remembering Victory in Europe Day
We live in a time that is unparalleled to any in history. We live in a world built upon sacrifices that should never be taken for granted yet today it is taken for granted. Our commitment to freedom and justice cannot last without further sacrifices and I fear that on this May 8th new and dangerous threats are mounting. It is my hope that this next generation will learn the lessons of the Greatest Generation and that when challenges rear their ugly head we wont shrink back but instead surge forward to meet them. This all starts with remembering.
