On a small side note about the Texas and her location. 1.) She was pounding the gun emplacements on the beaches at Normandy on the 6th. 2.) The place where she is birthed is called the San Jacinto Battleground. This is the very piece of land where the Texas Army defeated the Mexican Army for her independence in 1836. There is a giant monument there, called the San Jacinto Monument of course, which you can tour and go to the top of, as well as tour the entire battleground. The area around Houston and in neighboring Brazoria County, are the places where Texas was originally settled and began. Checking out the local tourism sites or the Texas Parks & Wildlife site might give you a better idea of the things you can visit and experience if you are into that sort of history.

If you’d like to check out the Collings Foundation A-4 and F-4 give me a PM.

Oh, I almost forgot. After you tour the Texas, head just up the road to a place called Monument Inn. EXCELLENT seafood!!
