The Texas Public Policy Foundation, in collaboration with Convention of States Texas, invites you to be part of this exclusive discussion.

Veterans have a unique opportunity to continue their service to our country. By stepping up to lead public policy debates in their communities, vets can fill a gap left by a distracted and divisive media and pandering politicians. Policy is about making lives better, about increasing opportunities for American families, and defending all that is great about America. Veterans have shown their dedication to these ends already, and they can help us stand in that gap now.

Join TPPF’s LTC Chuck DeVore, U.S. Army, Ret., and former U.S. Army Sergeant Richard Johnson, along with Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo), a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, to discuss ways in which we can bring more veterans into public policy discussions. Other topics will include China, Afghanistan and the southern U.S. border.

Complimentary lunch from Chick-fil-A and coffee from Third Day Coffee Seguin will be provided.
