1. Disabled American Veterans of Texas Monument

Inscription. Dedicated
to the Memory of the
Disabled American
Veterans of Texas

They Offered Their Lives
for the Nation and
Received Each for His Own
Memory the Noblest of
Shrines Not the Graves in
Which Their Mortal Bones
Are Buried but a Home in
the Hearts of Men

The Disabled Veterans of
Texas Gave All That Men
Can Give So That You and
Land Our Children Would
Inherit a Free Land

Erected 1980 by Department of Texas and the Beloved Members of the Departments Auxiliary.
