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. 

Fort Sam Houston Home Of Army Medicine Fiesta 1993

 

This is the oldest pin that I have in my collection.  It was created in 1993.

 

Due to the age of the pin, it will take me awhile to find the history on its background.

 

With my guy being a Medic, and him having sort of a military background (his dad was military and stationed in England when he was born) I have a bit of soft spot in my heart for military medals.

 

I have also lived in So. Cal by Camp Pendleton, and now living in San Antonio, I live in  a City with 5 military bases, but more on them on another post.

 

One of the things that people are not aware of is the fact that Fort Sam  Houston is a base rich with history. 

 

I understand the VA Medical System here is better then most.  I also know that BAMMC has been designated as the only official Military Medical Training Facility in the country.

 

As I verify more of these details I am sure I will be editing this post.

 

 

 

For any one wanting to donate medals or cash to keep this blog going, please pm me at sightsofsatx@gmail.com and I will tell you how to contribute.  I will keep this as ad free as possible.
