AUEDA Pinatas In The Barrios KING IV Hilario Henry Garcia
Per the official Fiesta Site ( http://www.fiesta-sa.org/events_detail.aspx?id=8 ) this is the 17th year for this organization.
I was unable to get this medal as it went out quickly, but I was able to meet Cleto Rodriguez, a local celeb, who was on their float this year.
But as you can see, I have the medal in my collection.
Even though I was not able to get it from the Barrio Staff themselves, I have an amazing neighbor who shares my love of medals. She and I trade extras. I have told her frequently, if she chooses to sell off her collection, I want first shot at it.
As I shook the hand of Cleto, my Medic proudly (?) told him I was the medal whore of the family.
I did not turn around to see the look on Cleto's face, but I bet it was a puzzled one.
I do encourage you all to click on this link and read their article and support them in the way you see best so they can continue their works.

Fiesta 2012 U.S. Army South Defense & Fraternity
Here is another of the many additions of the Fiesta San Antonio Medal Collection I have.
I can assure you, my collection is VERY small compared to others, but that will be another post.
This is the Fiesta 2012 U.S. Army South Defense & Fraternity Medal.
My research on this medal led me to an online community Military Newsletter.
The online newsletter is about the units that are based on Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX.
As this is a military site, I am not going to go into much detail for obvious reasons.
After I have done further research, and gain the necessary permissions, I will post links if permitted to their
organizations.
