Bill > HCR155

This resolution officially designates San Antonio as "Military City Texas" for a 10-year period, recognizing the city's deep and longstanding connection to the United States military. The resolution highlights San Antonio's rich military history dating back to 1718, its current status as home to Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), which is the largest base within the U.S. Department of Defense and employs over 100,000 people, and its significant economic and cultural contributions to military support. The city has demonstrated its commitment through substantial infrastructure investments, grants totaling over $115 million, and extensive resources for active and retired military personnel, including medical facilities like Brooke Army Medical Center, educational initiatives, and community events that honor service members. By officially recognizing San Antonio as "Military City Texas" until 2035, the resolution celebrates the city's ongoing dedication to supporting the U.S. armed forces and acknowledges its important role in military training, innovation, and community support.
