For nearly a decade, Jaime's Place has hosted an annual "You Are Not Forgotten" Luncheon to thank San Antonio veterans and their families.  During this year's event, I was grateful for the chance to recognize the service of neighbors who risked their lives for our country.

Congratulations to Northwest Vista College on the grand opening this morning of their Esperanza Veterans Center, a state-of-the-art facility for student veterans. My office was glad to attend their Veterans Day opening celebration.

Today and every day, San Antonio is grateful to those who have bravely served our country.  This morning, I had the opportunity to honor veterans who are receiving comfort and care at Hummingbird Hospice.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), an increasingly common but often misdiagnosed cancer. Today on World NET Cancer Day, I’m thankful for all those dedicated to researching and raising awareness of this rare disease.
