Today, we had the honor of dedicating four War Monuments at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery for Veterans who served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. A Veteran from each conflict spoke at their respective monument after it was unveiled. These monuments will serve as reminders of the heroes who have come before us and the ones we have lost. Our gratitude is endless for their many sacrifices.
