We are saying goodbye to a great American. He will be missed.
Possible candidates to replace him are state Senator Van Taylor, another veteran, Collin County Judge Keith Self, and state Representative Jody Laubenberg.
Amen. A true American hero, when the word has now been so overused and misapplied. A fighter pilot’s fighter pilot who fought in Korea & Vietnam, member of the Thunderbirds flight demonstration team, spent nearly seven years as a POW, including 42 months in solitary while being tortured, wounds that afflict him to this day, commanded the USAF Weapons School, most conservative member of the House, outlived his wife, now 86 y/o. I hope he has a long and meaningful retirement, enjoying his grandchildren & great grandchildren.
