Millions of veterans currently live in the U.S. and Texas. On In Focus Texas, we’re taking time to honor the lives of those who served and sacrificed for this nation. Veteran day began as a day to remember those who died in duty, but was later changed to remember all who served. More than 1.4 million veterans call Texas home. We’re highlighting how veterans are being remembered across the state – including in Arlington with a unique park structure featuring military portraits. Anchor, Dr. Nicole Cross will also speak to two former veterans about their lives outside the military and how they are helping others. Representative Philip Cortez joins us with details on his time in the U.S. Air Force and how he is using his platform to uplift other veterans. In addition, Thomas Palladino, Executive Director of Texas Veteran Commission explains why it’s important for him to give back to veterans who may be struggling following their transition back to civilian life.
