Veteran's Affairs    
"One of the things that makes San Antonio so special is our history and role as Military City, USA. The Medal of Honor Memorial will honor local soldiers who have received this prestigious award. This memorial is a chance to once again demonstrate how proud we are of our local military heroes by publicly recognizing their service and sacrifice. Therefore, I urge you to support our MOH project and encourage every individual, veteran or civilian, to honor our heroes by contributing towards this great effort. Please view this great legacy to our heroes and log in to www.samoh.org to make your contribution to the Medal of Honor Memorial Fund."

Mayor Phil Hardberger

Commission Agenda and Minutes

The Veteran's Affairs Commission is an eleven-member board representing the Mayor and ten City Council Districts. All members must be veterans and may serve no more than three (3) two-year terms. The Commission was chartered by the City Council on April 12,2001 and their first meeting was held on August 29, 2001.

The Commission's mission is to serve the City Council in an advisory capacity on issues affecting the City's military population, both active and retired. It serves as the community's liaison and advocate for veterans' affairs; advises the City Council on issues affecting San Antonio veterans and their families; and makes recommendations for improving services.

Its goals are to: provide a single clearinghouse for veterans' services offered by local, state and federal agencies; advise City Council on all issues affecting veterans and their families; and establish processes to accomplish the Commission’s mission and goals.

The Commission works with the Economic Development Department, Community Initiatives, and External Relations and with the Bexar County Veterans Service Office, as well as with other departments as needed and stays abreast of legislative items affecting veterans and their families.

The Commission meets monthly, generally on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. The meetings are generally held in Frost Bank Towers, 100 W. Houston, St. 1900 and Commission agendas are posted outside of City Hall.
