PRESERVATION PARTNER
Honor Texas Ancestors: Support
the Texas Heroes Endowment benefitting THC
The year 1836 was a landmark in Texas history. To this day, it represents
the spirit and determination of our forefathers in their unwavering fight
for independence.
In 1836, burgeoning Texans responded to the call for freedom from
tyranny. Personal sacrifice was a natural and necessary element of this
endeavor. Texian settlers, soldiers, and supporters from faraway states
offered assistance by answering the call for help.
It is the duty of all of us, individually and
collectively, to do what we can to preserve
the tangible evidences of our heritage.
Money, time, and dedicated effort are
essential to this program. We do this in
respect and tribute to the strong men and
women who built Texas...
-Governor Allan Shivers
