Man, how did i miss this thread....

First off, what is it about Texas? Download the MP3 "What I like about Texas" by Gary P. Nunn. Pretty much everything mentioned in this thread is in that song. As long as we're on musicians, Roger Creager, Dub Miller, and of course, Willie

I've lived here since my parents finally got stationed in San Antonio in '93 and of all the places i've lived, NoVA, Denver, Richmond, this has by far been the best.

Texas is the only state i know of to have a State Historical Landmark in another country. The site at Pont-du-hoc where Gen. James Earl Rudder(a Texan, and a Fightin' Texas Aggie) led the 2nd Ranger Battalions up the cliffs during the D-day invasions in France is a Texas State Historical Landmark.

The old Texas Embassy builiding in London is still standing and is also a Texas State Historical Landmark. Heck, i even saw a Lone Star Cafe in England, even the Brits want to be like us.

I'm sure me and all the other Texas posters on here could write volumes and volumes about why Texans are so proud, but i'm sure y'all yankees don't want to read all that.
