The resolution commemorates May 9, 2025, as the second anniversary of the renaming of Fort Hood to Fort Cavazos, located in Central Texas. The renaming honors U.S. Army General Richard Edward Cavazos, a distinguished sixth-generation Texan and the first Latino to achieve the rank of four-star general in the U.S. Army. Fort Cavazos, which is the third-largest military base in the U.S., serves as the home of the III Armored Corps Headquarters and the 1st Cavalry Division, playing a crucial role in training and deploying Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers for global operations.

The resolution highlights General Cavazos's remarkable military career, which included service in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where he earned numerous accolades for his bravery, including two Distinguished Service Cross awards. It acknowledges his contributions to the U.S. Army and the legacy he left behind, culminating in his retirement in 1984 after 33 years of service. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes for the continued success of Fort Cavazos and its personnel, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of respect for the military installation.
