News Release
Veterans Day 2012
Dear Editor,
As Nov. 11 marks the observance of Veterans Day, the
Texas Access to Justice Commission and Foundation
join in expressing our gratitude for America’s
veterans for their service and sacrifice for our
freedoms.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs, Texas has the second highest veteran
population, with 1.7 million veterans. These brave
men and women deserve our appreciation for their
honorable duty, and we encourage everyone to express
their thankfulness to our state’s veterans.
Over the past three years, the Texas Access to
Justice Commission and Foundation have raised and
awarded grants in excess of $1 million for legal
services for veterans.
During this
month, and throughout the year, veteran’s legal
clinics are held across the state to increase access
to justice for all Texas veterans who have
sacrificed so much.
Every day, legal aid and pro bono lawyers
come to the aid of veterans who are wrongly denied
critical medical care, disability and other
benefits, or need help with family matters arising
from deployments.
On behalf of the Texas Access to Justice Commission
and Foundation, I would like to thank the more than
one million Texans who have made sacrifices to serve
our country. Justice Nathan L. Hecht Supreme Court liaison Texas Access to Justice Commission & Foundation See also:
