	      The program, which will be open to the public, is an educational endeavor
	      as well as a dignified ceremony of flag retirement. John Knox, a local historian
	      specializing in the flags of America, will deliver a detailed history of
	      the many flags that have flown over the United States and how the current
	      flag was developed. Mr. Knox will demonstrate the proper way to retire Old
	      Glory and facilitated the retirement of the many flags that have flown
	      over local homes and businesses.

	      February 13, 2024: Valentines for Vets
	       
	      February is a month of love....
	       
	        
	      February is a month of love, joy and quality time set aside for those special
	      to us. February is also a lonely month for those who cant be with family,
	      have lost love ones, or are simply spending another Valentines Day
	      alone.
	       
	      This is especially true for our Veterans residing in our Texas State Veterans
	      Homes. Many of our Veterans no longer have their spouses here with them.
	      For the ones that do, they may be struggling with depression and anxiety.
	      What better time to send a Veteran a little love than this Valentines
	      Day?
	       
	      We as Texans love our Veterans and should make it evident this February.
	      Reach out to a Veteran and remind them that they are loved and appreciated
	      for the sacrifices they have made for us and our country.
	       
	      Please address the cards to Texas Veteran, c/o Valentines for Vets.
	      You can find the addresses to our nine homes here:
	      https://vlb.texas.gov/veterans-homes/locations/index.html
	       
	      Happy Valentines Day! |
