Texas Veterans Legacy for Tomorrow. The TexVet Legacy Project is partnering with Veterans, families, and communities across Texas to preserve the stories of Veterans laid to rest in VA funded cemeteries in Texas. Through recorded conversations, historical research, photographs, and family memories, we create permanent digital biographies that honor Veterans and preserve their legacies for future generations through the Veterans Legacy Memorial and the Texas State University Digital Repository.
Why Families Participate?
Many families tell us that sharing their Veteran's story becomes an opportunity to reflect, remember, and ensure that future generations know not only how they lived and served, but who they were and what they stood for.
