Happy Thanksgiving from Chairman George P. Bush Thanksgiving is a special time for us to reflect on the many blessings we are fortunate to have as a free nation. Every year we gather with our families and enjoy home-cooked meals while reminiscing of years past. This year, while we enjoy the company of our loved ones and appreciate all of God’s blessings, I encourage Texans to take a moment to also give thanks for the many Veterans that make this holiday so special. It is our duty and privilege to ensure that Veteran knows how deeply appreciative we as a nation are for their service.   READ ARTICLE
