College Station Today

Michael McCaul, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 10th district since 2005, recently shared a series of tweets reflecting on significant historical and cultural moments. Born in Dallas in 1962, McCaul graduated from Trinity University with a BA in 1984 and earned a JD from St. Mary's University, Texas in 1987.

On June 14, 2025, McCaul acknowledged the U.S. Army's longstanding service to the nation by tweeting: "Wishing the @USArmy a happy birthday! For the last 250 years, thousands of brave American men and women have put their lives on the line to protect our nation and defend our freedom. Thank you for your courage and sacrifice!" The post celebrated the army's role over two and a half centuries in safeguarding American values.

Later that day, McCaul commemorated Flag Day with another tweet: "On this day in 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution for the first American flag — paving the way for the stars and stripes to become an iconic symbol of our great nation. Happy Flag Day! " This highlighted an important moment in U.S. history when the national flag was first introduced.

On June 16, 2025, McCaul expressed admiration for spiritual leader Dalai Lama amid challenges faced under Chinese authority: "Despite having faced persecution, oppression, and unspeakable violence at the hands of the CCP, the Dalai Lama has maintained inner peace and continues to preach compassion, serving as an inspiration for the world." His statement emphasized respect for resilience against adversity.

Michael McCaul resides in Austin and continues his political career while contributing reflections on historical events through social media platforms.
