KATY, Texas – Katy Football’s moving photo of National Guard troops sleeping in a Katy High School hallway has been deleted after the owner of the Twitter account said they received criticism for allowing them to sleep on the floor.
The original, now-deleted tweet showed dozens of sleeping National Guard troops sleeping in their fatigues along the Katy school’s red lockers.

The tweet read: “Inside of Katy High….these are the real heroes. Thank you for all that you do.”
Katy High School Principal Rick Hull responded to the criticism at one point, saying, “The community support for our military has been tremendous. They have cots and air mattresses available, but some take areas to themselves.”
Since the tweet was deleted, Katy Football has responded, explaining that the tweet was removed to diffuse the situation after certain outlets “(took) the opportunity to bash Katy HS for soldiers sleeping in the hallway.”
The following tweet thanked the National Guard for their service and offered to help in any way.
We know the truth, and again, to the @USNationalGuard thank you for your service and if you need anything, let us know.
