I had a great time with the Austin Veterans Community Organization at the 29th Ward Veteran's Peace Garden. Thank you Cassandra Norman for hosting us as we honored those that have lost their lives in service of this country, while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. We forever salute them and will keep their families in our prayers. Ald. Chris Taliaferro - Semper Fidelis!!!
