Texas has always supported her Veterans in return for their military service. In 1946, Texas created the Veterans Land Board (VLB) to administer benefits exclusively for Texas veterans. Since then, the VLB has funded more than 200,000 Veteran loans. If you're a military member or Veteran, then you may qualify for special benefits provided by the State of Texas. The Texas VLB operates under the Texas General Land Office to provide Texas military members and Veterans land loans, home loans and home improvement loans. VLB also brings long-term care to Veterans in nine Texas State Veterans Homes located throughout the state and honors those who served in four Texas State Veterans Cemeteries.

Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., was joined by VLB Chairs, Board Members, Executive Secretaries and former Land Commissioners to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Texas Veterans Land Board.

VLB Chairwoman Dawn Buckingham, M.D., is proud to announce the next installment of the series highlighting the VLB’s Voice of Veterans Oral History Program.

This week, we highlight the service of Sergeant (Sgt.) Adrianne Coward who served in the United States Army during the Cold War.

Coward was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1962 and following her high school graduation, she joined the Army in 1982. After bootcamp, Sgt. Coward was sent to Advanced Individual Training (AIT) in Aurora, Colorado. There, she was assigned to be an Optical Laboratory Specialist (OLS) and made eyeglasses for soldiers.

After training, she was sent to Fort Rucker but after four months with no available roles to fill, she headed to Fort Jackson in South Carolina and stayed there for the next five years. Her next assignment was in Germany where she continued as an OLS while stationed there.

Upon returning to the U.S., Coward re-enlisted and was determined to get into the 91 Charlie program. She was then sent to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio and began working at an optical lab to continue her work as an OLS.

Last month, the first two Medal of Honor memorial services were held at the West Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Lubbock, Texas.

The services were held for Lt. Col. George Davis of the U.S. Air Force and 1st Lt. Frank Nicias Mitchell of the U.S. Marine Corps, who were the first two brave MOH recipients memorialized at any of our VLB cemeteries.

Both Veterans were honored at their services for their patriotism and the sacrifices they and their families made for our great country.
