to Texas Greetings: As Governor of Texas, it is my pleasure to welco me everyone to the 132nd General Conference of the National Guard Association of the United State s. The fine men and women who make up the Natio nal Guard are a credit to our state and our nation, working hard and making major sacrifices in the effort to promote freedom and security the world over. I salute and thank all of the brave veterans here today . Whether they are serving at home or abroad, it is our duty as Americans to provide the members of the National Guard with the equipment, traini ng and personnel benefits necessary for individual and collective success. This is where NGAUS come s into play. You are in tune with the issues affecting the National Guard, bringing the stories and conce rns of its members directly to Congress. By serving these patriots and their families, you are serving this great nation. My fellow Texans join me in commending your hard work and dedication. To those from out of town, I welcome you to Austin. From world-class entertainment to our histor ic Capitol, there is much to discover. I invite you to explo re and enjoy everything this city has to offer. First Lady Anita Perry joins me in wishing you all a wonderful event. Sincerely, Rick Perry Governor of Texas

to the 132nd NGAUS General Conference To my fellow NGAUS members: On behalf of the men and women of the Texas National Guard, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Austin and the great state of Texas! As the saying goes, everything is bigger and better in Texas, and we hope to show you some of the reasons why during your stay here. In addition to an outstanding agenda for the conference, we are going to provide some special state “touches” to your experience. The Governor’s Reception will include an authentic rodeo, followed by a conce rt by local country music star Rick Trevino, recently back from a trip to Iraq, where he entertained our troops, includ ing several National Guard units. This year we are introd ucing Spouse Adventures to four exciting destinations, includ ing San Antonio and Fredericksburg. Hospitality Night will includ e several local venues rented out by states. Finally, the State s Dinner will be Texas Formal (read cowboy casual) and be followed by a “NGAUS City Limits” show. And you can’t beat Austin as a destination. As “The Live Music Capital of the World,” Austin boasts hundreds of live music venues each night, and you will no doubt disco ver why “Sixth Street” has such a reputation. Austin is home to the Texas Capitol (yep, you can see it’s just a few inche s taller than that one in Washington), and home to the Unive rsity of Texas (Longhorns, of course). Test the running path along “Lady Bird Lake,” try one of our many excellent restau rants, join the “bat watch” crowd on the Congress Avenue bridge , or just relax at one of the many piano bars and listen to cool jazz or country singers — enjoy creating a unique Austin and NGAUS experience!
Welcome, y’all! Jose S. Mayorga Major General The Adjutant General
