Happy birthday to Texas music legend Bob Wills

On this day, we honor the courageous defenders who stood their ground in the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. Outnumbered but unwavering, they chose sacrifice over surrender—leaving behind a legacy of courage that shaped history. Remember the Alamo! #texas #TexasHistory

Happy Texas Independence Day! #texas #texashistory

83 years ago, four U.S. Army chaplains made the ultimate sacrifice to save their fellow comrades during WWII. On Four Chaplains Day, the GLO honors and remembers George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, Clark V. Poling, and John P. Washington, who gave up their life jackets and stood firmly with soldiers during the sinking of the USAT Dorchester. Their heroic legacies will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Happy Birthday to the Lone Star flag! Today marks the 187th anniversary of the day that the Congress of the Republic of Texas officially adopted the iconic design. As proud Texans, the GLO takes great pride in celebrating our state's beloved symbol of bravery, purity, and loyalty!

To celebrate Sam Houston's crossing the Red River and entering Texas for the first time 193 years ago today, I'm making chili. Naturally, I'm using Sam's recipe.
