Dear Committee Members:

In an effort to recognize a True Texas Hero, Col. Juan  N. Seguin, we the undersigned are requesting your help in securing a place in American history for Juan N. Seguin.

Seguin was a native born Texan and Patriot and Hero of the war for Texas Independence.  It was through his contributions and influence as part of a team and that of as a leader of dedicated men and women that Texas gained it's independence from Mexico in 1836.   In 1848 Texas joined the United States of America.   A union that not only strengthened Texas, but the United States as well.

Seguin's forefathers were among those Tejanos that supplied George Washington's army with Beeves, Honey and Grain via Spain's Bernado de Galvez's army which at the time was protecting the American Colonist southeastern most borders and aiding the Colonist in their struggle for independence from England.

In remembrance of a man who helped change the destiny of two nations, the United States of America and the Republic of Texas.  A union that molded and strengthened two countries into one and forged into the future our country as we know it today.   A country with diversity in population, but united under one flag.

We the undersigned join Congressman Gene Green, Congressman Ciro Rodriguez and  many other public officials that have joined in a Bipartisan Congressional Effort in requesting that a United States Postal Service Commemorative Stamp be issued to commemorate Texas Hero Col. Juan Nepomuceno Seguin and that it's first day issue should be in the city named in his honor, Seguin, Texas.   (Ref:  H. RES. 12)

Thank you, we and history, await your historic decision.
