Photos of Items from the Texas Merci Boxcar

 

The Texas Merci Boxcar, a gift to the State of Texas as part of the Gratitude Train, was received from France in February 1949, and is located on the grounds of American Legion Post 76.  

The boxcar is cared for and maintained by the Texas members of La Societe and each year these members travel to Austin for an annual pilgrimage pay honor to those who have sacrificed so much

The Grande Voiture du Texas has initiated a program to protect the French Merci Boxcar and construct a permanent structure to house and display the boxcar for everyone to see year round.  More information is to come on this project and questions can be directed to texasmerciboxcar@yahoo.com
