The Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home celebrated its first anniversary today!

Commissioner Buckingham and the Texas VLB hosted a special celebration at the Tuskegee Airmen TSVH to honor these incredible, distinguished pilots on the first annual Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day.

Named after the first all-African American flying group in the U.S. Armed Forces, this 100,000-square-foot home opened in 2025 and has been proudly serving a tightly knit community of Veterans in Fort Worth.

"There is no greater act of service than pledging to fight for your country. It is an honor to celebrate the Tuskegee Airmen on the first annual Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day at the Texas State Veterans Home, which is named in honor of their fortitude and bravery while serving during World War II." - Commissioner Buckingham
