Commissioner Buckingham’s family were among the first settlers to Texas seven generations ago, and that tough, independent, pioneer spirit is deeply rooted in her personality. True to her Texas roots, her commitment to service began early, serving as a volunteer firefighter, and attending the Texas A&M Fire School. She is also an avid hunter, outdoorswoman, and steward of the land. She made history in 2016 as the first woman elected to the Texas State Senate from Travis County and she made history again in 2022 when elected as this state’s first female Land Commissioner.

Flags for Fallen Vets is dedicated to ensuring American Flags are placed at each Veterans Headstone at All National Cemeteries each Memorial Day.

This year for Memorial Day we will be honoring Section E of the Houston National Cemetery.  To effectively complete this humbling task we will need 75 volunteers on May 28 & June 3 @ 8:30 am . 

Matt Berg, President elect, and event chair will be the section lead and he can be contacted at  727-534-9233 or mbb6421@gmail.com.
