Mr. Robert Floyd
Chairman
Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument Committee
Dear Texas Vietnam Veterans and Families,
Congratulations on the completion and dedication of the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument. I join the thousands in attendance at the dedication ceremony and others across the state in recognizing and honoring the many Texans who served bravely in the Vietnam War.
To all of the honorable men and women of our armed forces, thank you for all of the sacrifices you have made in defending our country. There is no greater service than that of our military men and women.
As Americans and Texans, we must never forget the hardships endured by those who fought in the Vietnam War. We must remain mindful that many of those who served are no longer with us today and we must continue to honor their legacy.
Texas is home to many Vietnam veterans and their families. I send my best wishes and warmest congratulations to all on the dedication of this new monument.
Sincerely,
Lamar Smith
Member of Congress
