This Memorial Day, we honor more than 600 Texans who gave their lives for their country

  • Oops!
    Something went wrong.

Thousands of Texans have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country throughout our history, from America’s earliest battles to the global war on terror that followed 9/11.

Men and women from every corner of the state have fought our nation’s battles and never come home. It is because of these heroes that all of us in America enjoy our freedoms — something we should never take for granted.

The true number of Texans who have died serving their state and nation is high. This Memorial Day, we think of all of them.

Here you will find the more than 620 names of Texans who gave their lives during our most recent wars, since 2001 — operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. They grew up in every corner of the state, from the smallest towns to our largest cities, including at least 49 from Tarrant County.

Read these names. Think about their families. Be grateful for their service and sacrifice. Remember them.
