LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas –
Celebrate America's Military is an annual series of events honoring the active-duty military, the Guard and Reserve, wounded warriors and veterans for their service to the nation.
The Greater San Antonio Chamber created the Celebrate America's Military event in 1970 as a way for the business community to say, "Thank you" to the U.S. Armed Forces.
The tradition has grown to become the nation's largest community affair honoring the military, with more than 250,000 people participating in CAM events each year.
