Senate Resolution No. 693 recognizes the significant contributions of the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans and Families (SACVF) in supporting local military personnel, veterans, and their families. Founded by Lieutenant Colonel Hector V. Villarreal, a Vietnam veteran, SACVF has evolved from its original name, the San Antonio Coalition for Veterans, to better reflect its mission. The organization provides essential services through its 1-on-1 Veteran Assistance Program, which offers personalized support to veterans and military families who may lack access to other resources. Additionally, SACVF collaborates with over 255 veteran service providers and hosts community forums to address critical issues such as PTSD and VA benefits.

The resolution commends SACVF for its exemplary civic engagement and dedication to raising awareness and fostering support for Texas veterans and their families. It expresses the Texas Senate's appreciation for the coalition's achievements and extends best wishes for its continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a formal acknowledgment of the coalition's valuable service to the military community.
