that was what made me fall in love with Texas. A Texas relative died and the hearse had to wind through a small town (it was in the country), and we passed a group of high school students at a service station with their sign up saying they would wash cars to make money for a school trip. Anyway, when the hearse passed by, those young people put their hands over their hearts, and the ones with caps on took them off, until we got by. I had never seen that anywhere in the world before. When you are a really decent person, no body has to tell you what is right or wrong. You have been learning that all of your life, so it's natural to show respect for the family and friends following the hearse.

Even on a busy highway, we pull over to allow hearses to pass regardless of who it is. If someone wants to pass on the road, we pull over on the shoulder to let them pass, then wave at them. It is taught from an early age and passed on. In West Texas, you wave at an oncoming car just because it is expected. We feed our neighbors, we watch their kids and dogs. We remove our hats when the national anthem is played. It’s how we live. Libtards dont understand this and I don’t give a damn, we are who we are.
We are the veterans, we are the people who make the country work and by God we are not going to change to make someone else happy. God Bless America and God Bless Texas. One and the same.

Theres a lot of good hearted folks in Texas. In my opinion, nothing illustrates that point better than this:
