Book Description
Military Heroes of Guadalupe County is being written to remember the sacrifices made by soldiers from our county over the last century and a half. Included are vignettes about soldiers from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War. Though Guadalupe county did not come into existence until 1893, there were soldiers from the area that saw action during the Civil War or moved into the area at a later date. Included in Military Heroes are vignettes about nineteen soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice for their country. They died as a result of hostile enemy action. There are also four included who died accidental deaths while serving their country. Three of the four were killed in military airplane crashes. There are five included who earned the Bronze Star, four who received the Silver Star, one who earned the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor, and one recipient of the nation's highest military honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. There are also twenty-one who earned a Purple Heart. The medal is presented to those who were wounded in action. It is also awarded to servicemen who were killed in action. Also included are vignettes about servicemen whose deeds may be considered humorous or whimsical, although most are quite serious. Also included in the individual vignettes are photographs of most of the soldiers in Military Heroes. There are also various items of ephemera used to tell their stories. Some of the individual vignettes include messages that may have been sent home, candid pictures, a sailor's last will and testament, and even applications for gravestones. All help tell the grim reality of war. Military Heroes is not intended to be all inclusive but rather to include a cross section of those who served in the military from Guadalupe county and the sacrifices they made in defense of their country. More importantly, many of those included played a very important role in their military service. One of the soldiers played an especially important role in helping to bring World War II to an end. He was on the Enola Gay as it flew over Hiroshima to deliver its payload on that fateful day in August 1945.

Originally named Walnut Springs in 1838, Seguin was renamed one year later after Mexican Texas Revolution hero Juan N. Seguin, who fought at the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. The town of Seguin and the surrounding area have always been a crossroads for commercefrom the southeast Gulf Coast region throughout the rest of the state. Seguins Texas Rangers initially provided security for frontier settlers, and many of the areas residents served in the U.S. military. From Austin to the U.S. Congress, Seguins citizens have also served their country as representatives, state senators, and as governor. In the 21st century, Seguin continues to redefine itself as a leading business and manufacturing community while still retaining its agricultural roots. Seguin and Guadalupe Countys achievements in education have been recognized at the national level for Texas Lutheran University, and by the state for its public school system. Longtime residents of Seguin and Guadalupe County remember their heritage with pride as they welcome newcomers to the area.

In 1903 the county was renamed Leonard Wood county, in honor of the Spanish American War hero and the county seat was movedd from Puerto de Luna to Santa Rosa. Two years later, in 1905, the Territorial Legislature was asked to change the name of the county back to Guadalupe. The county seat remained in Santa Rosa. Guadalupe County has had four different courthouse. The first one was in Puerto de Luna. The third courthouse was a fine stone masonry building built in 1909. On September 19, 2009, county officials joined with officials from the City of Santa Rosa in a ceremony commemorating the courthouse's centennial. The event marked the conclusion of restoration and renovation efforts to the old courthouse and grounds that had been undertaken by county and city officials. Among those in attendance at the event were U.S. Congressman Harry Teague and state and local officials. Author Daniel B. Flores made a presentation about the history of the county and its courthouses.
