Rep. Susan Lewis King, Texas House representative, District 71, and Maj. Gen. John F. Nichols, the adjutant general of Texas, present Rowan Windham a ceremonial Texas flag, which was flown over the State Capitol. Windham was honorarily enlisted into the Texas Army National Guard at a ceremony held at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas, March 27, 2015. Windham is battling a rare disorder, Shwachmann-Diamond Syndrome, which affects the pancreas, gastro-intestinal tract, immune system, blood and bone marrow. During one of his stays at the Children's Hospital in San Antonio, Windham met Sgt. David Hixson, a medic with the Texas Army National Guard. There, Windham shared his dream of always wanting to be a Soldier and, soon after, Hixson, with the help of fellow Texas National Guardsmen, made it all possible.
