Sam Johnson: U.S. Congressman, Third District of Texas

Thank you to all the folks who had a hand in putting on the Dell Veterans Day 2015 event. It was a privilege to help honor our veterans with you - and I thank Dell for its outstanding efforts year-round to help our service members and their families.

A huge thank you to all the students and faculty at Bethany Elementary School for putting on such a great Veterans Day program. It was an honor to participate and I thank you for the certificate of recognition.

Thank you to all the folks who came out to support 2015's 11 Collin County veteran honorees at my annual Congressional Veterans Commednation Ceremony! I know our hometown heroes truly appreciated your support! God bless you!

Thank you so much to Richardson's Daughters of the American Revoltuion James Billingsley Chapter for the distinct honor of being presented your Distinguished Citizen Medal.

My thanks to everyone who came out to McKinney for the Veterans Day Memorial Service. God bless our veterans and military families.

I had the honor of meeting fellow airmen Spencer Stone, who helped foil a terrorist attack on a french train. His efforts are a reminder that we must ALWAYS be vigilant in protecting our blessing of FREEDOM.

I had the privilege of meeting Frisco's Student Ambassadors who will be serving their schools - and fellow classmates this year - with the goal of making their campus community the best it can be!

What a joy to help welcome Richardson's new teachers this year! Collin County schools have a reputation for providing a sterling education, and I know our schools and teachers are a big reason why our community continues to grow!

Thank you SO MUCH to Creation Technologies for hosting a tour of your facility. It' great to get the opportunity to see, firsthand, the contributions of the high-tech manufacturing industry to Texas’s economy.

I had the great privilege of helping recognize Plano's Neighborhood Walmart, the Walmart Foundation, and Minnie's Food Pantry - who are all working hard to help ensure no family in Collin County goes hungry.
