Blanco County Commissioners Court: the Veterans Office’s Recap, Operation Green Light and an America 250 Marker at the Veterans Memorial

The record. The Court posts each meeting's agenda and a "supporting documents" packet on the county's Public Notices calendar; each packet carries the draft minutes of earlier meetings. The agendas of 28 meetings and the packets of 29, August 12, 2025 through October 27, 2026, were read whole. The Court sits as County Judge Brett Bray and Commissioners Tommy Weir, Emil Ray Uecker, Chris Liesmann and Charles Riley. The items that name veterans: - October 14, 2025: "Recap on the Blanco County Veterans' Service office for FY24-25 by Wendy Strunk. Informational item only." Her handout reports $666,121.94 of back pay and $1,123,050.72 a year of benefit increases for county veterans over fiscal 2023 to 2025 (see the office's entry). - October 28, 2025 (item 6): a proclamation supporting "Operation Green Light for Veterans", approved 5-0 (Riley/Uecker). It designates Blanco a Green Light for Veterans County and asks residents to show green lights from November 4 through Veterans Day, November 11, 2025. The same agenda carried a Verizon Wireless contract for the Veterans' Service and Maintenance offices' county phones, and the Court moved the November 11 regular meeting ("Veterans' Day holiday") to November 17. - June 23, 2026 (item 6): an "America 250 Patriots" historical marker "to honor Revolutionary War Patriots to be placed at the Veterans' Memorial", approved 5-0 (Riley/Uecker). - August 25, 2026: the FY2026-27 budget approved, with $79,259 for Veteran Services (see the office's entry). The 2026 holiday schedule in the packets keeps Veterans Day (Wednesday, November 11, 2026). No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.
