Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish Caldwell County resident Bill Meuth a happy 100th birthday. Mr. Meuth served as an Army medic in World War II. He stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-day, fighting with the Allies in the name of freedom. Prior to the war, he had quit school at an early age to help care for his father who was sick, representing the ethos of a generation who understood that commitment to family and country sometimes comes at a personal cost. After the war, he worked in the oil fields instilling a strong work ethic in his family. In 1943, Mr. Meuth married his sweetheart, Lucy, and they remained married for 72 years until Miss Lucy passed away in 2015. Together they had four children, 14 grandchildren, 15 great- grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. We in south Texas are incredibly thankful for his sacrifice at such a critical time in our history and for the cause of freedom. Mr. Speaker, I wish a happy birthday to Mr. Meuth, and may God bless him. Congratulating Nathan Tudor”
