The Dr Hector P Garcia Memorial Foundation is pleased to announce that Dr. Kelly Marie Miller President and CEO of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, is our Keynote Speaker for our Signature Luncheon to be held on January 24, 2025 at the Omni Hotel Corpus Christi. Please plan to join us.

Jim and I were honored to attend the first annual Gala of the Miguel Hernandez, Jr. Chapter of the American GI Forum of Texas, in San Antonio. I received special recognition, the Flag of Valor Award. It gives me pride to see that there are finally members of the organization my beloved father founded in 1948, that want to return it to its days of glory. Special thanks to Lawrence Romo and Leona Bailey- Flores for your friendship. 

We are taking applications for the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Fellowship! This application is open to independent researchers, graduate students and faculty! It's easier than ever to apply, too so don't wait! Applications due April 15.

The H. Boyd Hall Diamond Award was presented to Jim and Cecilia Akers for their dedication to achieve equity and social inclusion by advancing practices that expand human rights and accelerate the well being of all persons. So very grateful and appreciative of being recognized in this manner.

We are so honored and excited to announce that UTMB Galveston has graciously donated this historical exhibit to the Dr. Hector P Garcia Memorial Foundation. We plan to take it everywhere when we travel. I am so humbled by the University's generosity.
