Despite pouring rain, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) local chapters braved the elements and held a ceremony at Ft. Sam Houston Cemetery, many dressed as Revolutionary soldiers, July 4th.

Army 3-Star General (ret) Ricardo Sanchez gave a brief 4th of July speech during the abbreviated ceremonies. Wreaths were laid to honor those who fought and died for America over the years.
