It argues that Texans built the state through resilience, cites historical frontiersmen, and notes Texas A and M and other graduates contributing to growth and prosperity.
The article notes the Texas bluebonnet as a soil builder with strong root systems that restore nitrogen and reseed well, urging it for official recognition over ornamental phlox.
