The holiday season is a special time of the year. For me,
nothing beats the time spent with family, especially my boys and seeing the
excitement and joy that accompanies the season. Each year brings new
memories that are cherished for a lifetime.
As a Veteran, I am also reminded of the
sacrifices made by others that allow us to gather and celebrate. Every year
as we eat homemade meals and cheer for our favorite football teams, there
are thousands of men and women who are serving overseas and without the
company of their loved ones.
While there are few bonds stronger than that
of brothers and sisters in arms, there is still a noticeable void for these
men and women during the holidays. As a nation, we should be mindful of
these servicemembers’ sacrifices, and show our appreciation—often. Without
their service, our traditions and way of life would not exist.
As Chairman of the VLB, I have made it my
mission to expand our outreach and make constant improvements to how we
administer benefits to our deserving Texas Veterans. This year was full of
excitement and new milestones, and I am incredibly proud of the
accomplishments made by our team. I encourage you to check out our year
in review as we reflect upon our accomplishments over the past
year, and I look forward to the future successes that await us in 2022.
Amanda, the boys and I all pray that you and your families
enjoy a safe, healthy, and very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
God Bless Texas,
George P. Bush
Chairman, Veterans Land Board
