Within it lies a beacon of our nation’s perseverance and unity – the American flag. This is no ordinary Stars and Stripes. This emblem of liberty and democracy, according to Texas State Representative Ryan Guillen, has previously waved proudly atop the state capitol itself.
And now, it is destined for a new home, a beacon of economic prosperity. It awaits the culmination of the Texas Regional Bank facility’s construction, ready to grace its highest point when the doors swing open for the Texan public. This flag, soaked in Texan sun and history, is set to symbolize a new era of financial growth, the relentless drive of the State of Texas, and the unyielding spirit of our great nation.
