SAN ANTONIO, Texas –
The Fort Sam Houston Caisson Section marched in the 11th annual Western Heritage Parade & Cattle Drive in downtown San Antonio Feb. 3.
The parade traditionally kicks off the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. The caisson was just one of three military equestrian units in the parade, joining the Fort Hood-based 1st Cavalry Division Horse Detachment and the U.S. Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard.
The parade organizers presented Lt. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan, U.S. Army North (Fifth Army) commanding general, with a plaque honoring the Fort Sam Houston Caisson Section.
