On the February 22 episode of The Voice of Texas Veterans with Julia Conner, listeners heard heartfelt reflections from three longtime members of the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) Board who will be stepping down in 2026. Commissioners Kevin Barber, Mary Dale, and Mike Hernandez joined the program to share their experiences, insights, and the legacy they hope to leave behind.

Each commissioner spoke about the honor of serving Texas veterans and the importance of advocating for benefits, services, and support systems that improve lives across the state. From policy guidance to community outreach, their contributions have helped shape TVC’s mission and impact.

As the agency prepares for new leadership, the episode offered a moment of gratitude and recognition for the dedication these commissioners have shown throughout their tenure.

The Voice of Texas Veterans airs every Sunday at 3:30 p.m. on KNCT. Past episodes are available at myknct.com/tvc.
