In l983, the Texas Veterans Commission commenced making inquiries to determine if there existed any directory showing
the location of memorials, markers, statues, etc., honoring our veterans and their deeds and services.
We found that no one had ever cataloged these veterans’ memorials on a Statewide basis. We felt this should be done, and
we embarked on the project in March l984. After many months of correspondence and numerous telephone conversations,
we finally obtained reports from all 254 Texas counties. The information obtained is contained in this directory, and we feel
that it will be of interest to you and a very large number of people in our State.
It came as a surprise to learn that forty-five (45) of the Texas counties have no memorials or monuments to our veterans.
However, we are pleased to note that in several of these counties, efforts have commenced to establish or erect various
types of edifices to honor the veterans and their service to our Nation and State.
Because of the magnitude of this project, it is likely that some memorials have not been reported to us. Please rest assured
that omissions from the listings are not intentional in any way by our Commission or by the Local citizens who assisted in
gathering the information.
We have given credit to the county residents and others who assisted in gathering the information needed, and we greatly
appreciate their efforts. Due to the costs involved, the supply of these directories will be rather limited. Anyone who so
desires, however, may feel free to reproduce any or all of this publication for Local use and distribution. We hope that if this
material is reproduced, you will give due credit to the Texas Veterans Commission, and to the many citizens who assisted
in gathering the information contained in this publication.

Celebrating One Hundred and Fifty Years-l836-l986
Memorial Day
At Gettysburg, at San Juan Hill,
In Flanders Fields now all is still,
But men still drill and march away
Like you who made Memorial Day.
In Normandy, and on Bataan,
At Inchon, Khe Sanh, and in Iran,
Selflessly the need you met.
And now we know we must not forget.
Those who fought and those who fell,
To hear the bell of freedom knell.
We crouch beside your graves today;
These wreaths of vernal buds to lay.
And to you who died for freedom’s sake,
A pledge to carryon we make:
The torch that you so bravely bore
Shall be our beacon evermore.
We pray that by its guiding light
We’ll find our course and hold it right.
We hope it may throughout the years
Bring an end to blood and tears.
For we’re a nation proud and free,
And sometimes it is hard to see
Where friendship for our cause abides
And where a foe of freedom hides.
You have found peace while we still weep
And wail o’er charges we must keep.
There’ll be no peace until we find
A way that’s just for all mankind.
