International medical students, community leaders, and military personnel gathered at historic Sunset Station in San Antonio, Texas on Feb. 3 for a winter reception hosted by the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM). The event recognized a diverse group of individuals who "share a common thread of service" to San Antonio and the military community.
Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho and Command Sgt. Maj. Donna Brock greeted the more than 275 guests in attendance.
"In this room, there is a common thread of service. Those who serve in the military, serve in law enforcement, and serve the community of San Antonio," said Horoho. "When I see the tremendous acts of service that individuals or organizations in this community have done, I know that our Soldiers, Families, Retirees, and Veterans are supported on all fronts."
San Antonio has been the "Home of Army Medicine" since 1947 and is the location of MEDCOM headquarters. MEDCOM programs located in San Antonio train more healthcare professionals than any other organization around the world, amounting to more than 60,000 students annually.
