Happy Veterans Day to our brave men & women that protect our nation's freedom 🇺🇸 This morning we had the honor of documenting a gathering and tribute to the warriors who reside at The Alfredo Gonzalez Texas State Veterans Home in McAllen, TX. - where Sgt. Maj. Clifford Lovejoy gave an inspiring speech and dedicated to providing additional services to their residents. The State of Texas' most decorated veterans reside in the RGV. Thank you for your service #VeteransDay
