On May 3, 2004, by Executive Action, the Texas Veterans Land Board designated a formal name for the state veterans home program. The program is now named The David A. Gloier Texas State Veterans Home Program. This action was in recognition of the late David A. Gloier, Executive Secretary of the Veterans Land Board from 1993 to 2001. Gloier was instrumental in the implementation of the state veterans home program. He guided the program through the legislative process and had oversight in the construction and operation of the first four homes in Temple, Floresville, Bonham and Big Spring. Homes in McAllen and El Paso opened in July 2005 and August 2005, respectively, and Amarillo opened in May 2007.
