Waxahachie – U.S Congressman Ron Wright awarded Congressional Veteran Commendations for the first time in Ellis County to three Ellis County public servants.
The three veterans honored included former U.S. Army paratrooper Samuel “Trip” Bryant, former U.S. Army combat engineer and Ellis County District Court Judge William D. Wallace, and retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot Jake Ellzey.
“I am honored to give the Congressional Veteran Commendation award to these great Ellis County Veterans: Sam Bryant, Jake Ellzey, and Judge Wallace.
“The Veteran Commendation award is presented to a veteran who has continued their service to the community well after leaving the armed services.
