Many of you may remember Skyler Derrington from the days following the devastating Guadalupe River flood, when her heartfelt rendition of Hallelujah touched so many lives.

While Skyler survived that tragedy, she has never forgotten those who did not. Since that day, she has continued to honor their memory and offer encouragement to the families and friends who carry that loss every day.

Her latest tribute is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope, faith, and remembrance endure.

I hope you’ll take a few moments to watch and join me in remembering those who were lost.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In 1991, Congress passed the Agent Orange Act, finally establishing disability benefits for Vietnam veterans suffering from illnesses linked to Agent Orange exposure.

Yet for many veterans, that was only the beginning of a decades-long fight.

Over the years, the VA gradually expanded eligibility and added new presumptive conditions, often only after overwhelming scientific evidence and relentless advocacy from veterans and their families. Some veterans waited 30 years after the war for compensation. Others waited 50 years or more before the government acknowledged their exposure and granted the benefits they had earned through their service.

For many, justice arrived too late.

These Vietnam veterans are the grandparents and great-grandparents of today’s generation. They teach us what perseverance looks like. They fought for our country overseas, then spent decades fighting for recognition and benefits at home. Their story is a reminder that our obligation to veterans does not end when the war does.

Today, more than 843,000 Vietnam-era veterans receive compensation for at least one presumptive Agent Orange-related condition.

These are not just statistics. They are fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandparents, neighbors, teachers, coaches, and friends.

We owe them our gratitude. We owe them our respect. Most importantly, we owe them action before another generation of veterans is forced to wait decades for the care and benefits they have earned.

Thank you for your service. Welcome home.

Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to endorse a challenger over incumbent Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller in the upcoming GOP primary marks a rare move in Texas politics. Traditionally, statewide incumbents receive the party’s backing, so this break signals potential shifts in party dynamics.

For Texas Republicans, it raises questions about influence, loyalty, and the priorities that shape endorsements. Will this shift reshape how candidates align with leadership, or how voters weigh experience versus party leadership preference? The March primary could offer insight into the evolving landscape of Texas politics and the role endorsements play in a party known for strong internal loyalty.

When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, my job wasn’t political. It was personal and practical.
I helped families evacuate, relocate, and navigate chaos when systems were overwhelmed and answers were scarce.
That experience mirrors the real work of a Justice of the Peace.
JP courts serve people who are under stress and looking for answers, and they deserve decisions made with fairness, calm judgment, and compassion.
Leadership in a disaster and leadership in the courtroom share the same core duties:
✔ Stay calm under pressure
✔ Protect the vulnerable
✔ Apply the rules fairly
✔ Help people move forward
Service doesn’t start when you take office.
It starts long before—when people need you most.
Accountable. Accessible. Approachable.
