This Memorial Day, I ask that you join me in remembering the men and women of our Armed Services who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I ask that you take time to fly the American Flag, visit a memorial or cemetery, or teach your children or grandchildren about freedom’s great price.
Representative Dwayne Bohac (Houston) is pleased to present the House District 138 ornament that was hung on the Christmas tree in the Texas House Chamber this week. Every year around Christmas, state legislators from all 150 House Districts choose an organization, school or individual to design an ornament for the official Texas House Christmas Tree. The ornaments, representing the culture and personality of each district, are hung throughout the season on the tree. Rep. Bohac selects a different high school in the district each year to submit the official HD 138 ornament.
"Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people. We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should." - President Ronald Reagan
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

All gave some...some gave all.
Remember them this Memorial Day.
