Texas National Guard should be home as Texas prepares for increased forest fire and flash flooding dangers.

They should not be in Illinois. Particularly with FEMA not available in the first few days of a crisis.

And we stand ready to help our Texas brothers and sisters. Helping people not hurting them is the American value I strive for
