Day 22: A Few More Sights around Mission, Texas

Tom Landry, the long-time football coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was born and raised in Mission, Texas.  The old barber who cut Bill's hair in Mission said Landry's father was the fire chief in Mission when Tom was a child.

In downtown Mission there is a huge mural on a 95-foot wall that depicts Tom Landry's life and football career.

He coached or played in five Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys.

Outside of town, on a bike ride, we came across this beautiful Rio Grande State Veterans Cemetery.

 It was immaculate in layout and maintenance.

Here Bill poses in part of the memorial to the fallen.
