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.

Download or read book Texas and World War I written by Gregory W. Ball and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 11, 1918, what was then called “the Great War” ended. The consequences of four years of warfare in Europe reverberated throughout the world, leaving few places untouched. Even though it was far from the scenes of conflict, Texas was forever changed, as historian Gregory W. Ball details in Texas and World War I. This accessible history recounts the ways in which the war affected Texas and Texans politically, socially, and economically. Texas’s position on the United States border with Mexico and on the western edge of the American South profoundly influenced the ways in which the war affected the state, from fears of invasion from the across the Rio Grande—fears that put the state’s significant German American population under suspicion—to the racial tensions that flared when African American soldiers challenged Jim Crow. When thousands of Texas men were drafted into the U.S. Army and the federal government developed a host of training grounds and airfields (many close to the state’s burgeoning cities) in response to U.S. entry into the war, this heavily rural state that had long been outside the national mainstream was had become more “American” than ever before.
