The event was attended by over 2,500 people, including many veterans, and was marked by a keynote address from Governor Abbott.
"Today, we honor the heroes who gave their all to fight for our sacred rights and who went in harm's way to protect the American way," said Governor Abbott. "Americans must always remember that freedom is worth fighting for. America remains the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known, and that freedom has been preserved, protected, and defended by the mightiest military in the history of the world. As we gather here today, we thank God, for through the fire of sacrifice, our freedom has been preserved. We ask for God's blessings and comfort for the families of the fallen. And we rededicate ourselves to the cause for which they fought and died. May we never forget the price they paid so that we can be free."
