AUSTIN, Texas — Governor Greg Abbott on Monday commemorated Texas service members who lost their lives over the past year during a Memorial Day ceremony at the Texas Capitol.
“In this Capitol, we remember and honor those who gave their lives for our country,” Abbott said. “Today, we recognize Texas service members who were killed while serving since our last Memorial Day ceremony in this chamber. The legacy of these extraordinary men and women lives on because they fought and died for a cause greater than themselves. We honor their dedication, we remember their sacrifice, and we celebrate their lives.”
Abbott was joined by Speaker Dustin Burrows, Senate Veteran Affairs Committee Chairman Kelly Hancock, House Homeland Security, Public Safety, & Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chairman Cole Hefner, Representative Philip Cortez, and families of service members.
The governor honored the following fallen Texas service members: Staff Sergeant Felix Berrios of the U.S. Army; Major Tobin Lewis of the U.S. Marine Corps; and Navy SEAL Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Ingram.
