HOUSTON – The Houston National Cemetery is a home to heroes. On the hallowed ground, rows of marble headstones flow like tears; evidence of our service members who gave their lives for our freedom. “They all paid the ultimate sacrifice and they are all at peace today," said Douglas Hottel. “He gave the ultimate sacrifice back in March 2008." “I am sorry to be emotional, but we have to thank all those men and women for giving their lives, so we could have freedom."
