I would like to thank the many people who came together to help make this possible, and to honor these fine men who served our County and our citizens of this great state with distinction and honor. I cannot give enough gratitude to those that have given to help raise the funds and put in the time to make all of this possible. I would also like to thank the Texas Department of Transportation for making sure that the signs have been put up in a timely manner and for all their help in making this a reality.

 

Thanks again to everyone who worked on this project and we hope to see you at the ceremony honoring all three of these fine men.
