Texas Lottery Veteran Recognition: Matthew Lewellen and James Moriarty

Family and friends of the Green Berets, who were killed during active duty deployment, will be honored during the coin toss when Texas Football hosts Kansas.

Hundreds of miles separated their hometowns. They didn't grow up with the same interests or hobbies. Instead, a shared passion to serve others and a quiet, internal call to defend family, friends and the country they collectively call home drew these young men together in uniform.

Their legacies are linked forever.
