This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Fort Sam Houston, you are literally surrounded by history. This installation is a National Historic Landmark with the largest collection of historic structures in the Department of Defense. Today's soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians, military family members and visitors walk the very ground where several generations of America's most distinguished soldiers have served this nation. Many features of the built environment at Fort Sam Houston bear the names of distinguished soldiers. Other features were named to reflect their function or use. Some of the names are quite familiar, like Eisenhower or Pershing. Other names are unfamiliar to all but the dedicated military historian. Familiar or not, the names of the soldiers memorialized here exemplify the Army Values-Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. The purpose of this guide is to identify those soldiers, and in some cases sailors, airmen and marines, whose names are memorialized at Fort Sam Houston and to illustrate the deeds or achievements which made them worthy of memorialization. An additional purpose is to identify the origin of the other street and place names which are also elements of the heritage of the installation. This guide is an addition to the Historic Neighborhood Awareness Program and includes information on all of the seven historic neighborhoods and the other neighborhoods as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Sam Houston has been San Antonio's Army post since 1845. Originally located in the city, elements of the post began moving to Government Hill in 1876. Fort Sam Houston became one of America's most important military installations, witnessing the end of the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, the birth of military aviation, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. "Fort Sam" contributed more than one million soldiers and airmen to the defense of the United States, including many of its most distinguished leaders. Its contributions to the nation merited its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1974. More than 800 historic buildings are within its boundaries--more than at Colonial Williamsburg and the largest collection on any installation within the Department of Defense. Images of America: Fort Sam Houston portrays the fort during its first hundred years on Government Hill.

Download or read book Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers written by Brian Kilmeade and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller now in paperback with a new epilogue. In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred more than two hundred Texians who had been trapped in the Alamo. After thirteen days of fighting, American legends Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to Texas looking for a fresh start. It was a crushing blow to Texas’s fight for freedom. But the story doesn’t end there. The defeat galvanized the Texian settlers, and under General Sam Houston’s leadership they rallied. Six weeks after the Alamo, Houston and his band of settlers defeated Santa Anna’s army in a shocking victory, winning the independence for which so many had died. Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers recaptures this pivotal war that changed America forever, and sheds light on the tightrope all war heroes walk between courage and calculation. Thanks to Kilmeade’s storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember the Alamo—and recognize the lesser known heroes who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
