Denton County, Texas

For our #PeopleofDentonCounty, we proudly salute our Women Veterans. This incredible group, many of whom are current or former employees of Denton County, have honorably served in various military branches, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Reserves.???? The Denton County Commissioners Court recently had the privilege of honoring the courageous women who have served in our armed forces. We celebrated their dedication and sacrifice with a special breakfast and proclamation ceremony. During Commissioners Court, each veteran was presented with a unique quilt from Quilts of Valor Texas. The mission of Quilts of Valor is to bestow a universal symbol and token of thanks, solace, and remembrance on those who served in harm’s way to protect and defend our lives and freedoms. These beautiful quilts are lovingly made by the hands of countless volunteers who wish to express their gratitude and honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans. Thank you to all the women veterans for your unwavering commitment to protecting our freedom. Your service and dedication inspire us all.

The Denton County Commissioners Court on Tuesday officially named Samantha Taylor as Director of the Office of Emergency Management. Taylor, a Denton County native who grew up in The Colony, began her career with Denton County in January 2023. Previously, she served as the Emergency Management Coordinator for Ellis County, where she responded to significant disasters with notable success.?

This morning, the Denton County Sheriff's Office hosted its annual Law Enforcement Fallen Officers Memorial at the Denton County Administrative Courthouse Amphitheater. We gathered to honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The ceremony included the Presentation of Colors, a proclamation reading by Denton County Judge Andy Eads, a rendition of the national anthem by the Denton High School Choir, and heartfelt speeches from guest speakers. The Roll Call of Officers, followed by a 3-Volley Rifle Salute, was particularly impactful. As each name was read, an officer placed a flower in the memorial wreath, symbolizing the unity of our entire county. May we always remember and honor the fallen who served their fellow citizens, especially those from Denton County.

Thursday marked a spectacular event with the grand motorcade of patriotic motorcycles and public safety vehicles escorting our Medal of Honor recipients from DFW Airport to Gainesville. We are immensely honored to have attended and created this video to pay tribute to their remarkable bravery and service to our country! #MedalOfHonorMotorcade #SupportOurVeterans
