History of the
Home
Amarillo was chosen by the VLB as the site for the seventh
Texas State Veterans Home in 2003. The home is named after two Panhandle
heroes: former VLB member and longtime veterans advocate Mike Ussery and Medal
of Honor recipient Marine PFC Charles Howard Roan. Roan died on Pelelieu when he threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow Marines. Ussery was a member of the Veterans Land
Board and a longtime veterans advocate instrumental in getting a Veterans Home
for Amarillo. He died just before the groundbreaking for the home. Read Medal of Honor citation
Commissioner Jerry Patterson dedicated the Ussery-Roan Home on April 4, 2007.
