Rep. Garza Visits Lackland Air Force Base and Honors Veterans Day

Rep. John V. Garza toured Lackland Air Force Base on Friday, Nov. 4, in observance of Veteran's Day. "As the "Gateway to the Air Force," Lackland's primary mission is to provide basic training for all non-prior service Airmen of the regular Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve (Lackland AFB)". He toured with Brian Grelk, Commander of the 326th Training Squadron.  Rep. Garza encourages everyone to take part in the Celebrate America's Military events this weekend.  The Greater San Antonio Chamber has organized the events since 1970, when the Chamber created Celebrate America's Military as a way for the community to say thank you to the U.S. Armed Forces.

"I encourage you to attend a Veterans Day service near you to show your support for our veterans and the victims of the Fort Hood shootings, their families, and our active military members across the nation and world," Rep. Garza said. "They make tremendous sacrifices every day to protect our freedoms."

Veteran's Day is tomorrow on Friday, Nov 11. Please join Representative Garza and honor the veterans who have bravely served our country.
