WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) took to the House floor last week to honor Fort Hood on its 75th Anniversary.
Since becoming a permanent military installation, “The Great Place,” has proven its resiliency time and time again. It is the only post in the United States capable of stationing and training two full armored divisions within its campus, and it has positioned itself as an economic frontrunner in the State of Texas. It is a true honor to get to represent and fight for the people of Fort Hood each and every day.
Representing Fort Hood – one of the largest military bases in the world – is the greatest honor I have as the Representative of Texas’ 25th Congressional District. Known as ‘The Great Place,’ it is the gold standard for the U.S. Army. It is composed of some of the bravest and most selfless people we have in this country. These men and women are not only an asset to Central Texas, they are vital to achieving the United States’ national security strategy.
