Texas Veterans Military & Classic Car Show draws crowds in Bullard

On Saturday, a group put on a family-friendly event called the Texas Veterans Military & Classic Car Show to honor veterans and remember 9/11.

The car show kicked off with a 60-vehicle military convoy that started at the Stuart Family Funeral Home in Tyler and ended at the Whataburger Travel Center in Bullard. Onlookers lined the route, and American flags were visible on several vehicles. The Patriot Guard motorcycle group led the convoy.

As participants hopped into their military styled vehicles and even their helicopters, they took part in a convoy that began in Tyler and ended in Bullard. Richard Davis, a veteran, said this annual event is special to him.

“This part of Texas is close to my heart because of the way that they feel about veterans, that’s the way it is," Davis said. "I’m sure the rest of it feels the same but they don’t have an event like this.”
