2016 Star Of Texas Awards
Earlier this month I joined Greg as he presented the 2016 Star of Texas Awards. This award is given each year to first responders, peace officers and firefighters who have demonstrated remarkable courage and heroism in serving and protecting their communities throughout the state. They were created by the Texas Legislature in 2003 to honor men and women who have been seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
At the awards ceremony, Greg had this to say:
“Today, Texas honors the extraordinary few – those who have demonstrated the character and the courage to repeatedly put their lives on the line to serve and protect their communities. Today we recognize acts of uncommon valor – by first responders, firefighters and law enforcement officers – willing to put everything on the line to keep us safe. All of the men and women who protect and serve, and the families who stand by their sides, deserve our deepest respect. They represent the very best of Texas.”
