Join the VLB for an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial at the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in Corpus Christi.
U.S. Navy Veteran Christopher Ray Flores will be laid to rest on Wednesday, June 10th, at 10:00 a.m.
We're proud to share that the West Texas State Veterans Cemetery is now open for burials.
Commissioner Buckingham spoke with @KCBD11 about the importance of having a designated Veterans cemetery for our nation's heroes in the West Texas community, where families can easily visit their loved ones.
This beautiful Lubbock cemetery is the @TexasVLB's fifth Texas State Veterans Cemetery, as we continue our mission of providing all of our brave Texas Veterans with an honorable final resting place.
During PTS Awareness Month, we honor the strength of all the service members and Veterans who fight this silent battle.
Let's work together to raise awareness and support those who struggle with their mental health on a daily basis.
Remember, help is always available and you are never alone.

Earlier this month, Anthony taught a special VLB TREC course to a group of REALTORS dressed for the Kentucky Derby.
It was a great class where he was able to help them learn all about our VLB programs and how to better serve their Military and Veteran clients.
Commissioner Buckingham thanked each employee for their service to our country and presented them with a certificate of appreciation, including Texas Veterans Land Board Executive Secretary Tony Dale for his ongoing dedication to the VLB.
Four Veterans from the Floresville Texas State Veterans Home took part in a special Memorial Day @Dreamflight. Our Veterans soared about 1,000 ft in the air in an open-cockpit airplane as a tribute to their service to our nation. We are honored to care for our Veterans every day.
Commissioner Buckingham released the following statement remembering our fallen heroes this Memorial Day:
"As Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office and Chairwoman of the Veterans Land Board, I am proud of the work we do every day to ensure Texas Veterans have access to the benefits they have earned through their service to our country.
While we do this work, we are reminded of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation.
Please join me on this day of remembrance as we honor those who sacrificed everything.
We are the home of the free because of the brave, and we must never forget that the freedom we cherish has always come at a cost."
