He was drafted into the Army in 1968 and served a tour in Vietnam. He continues to serve others in a local veteran’s service organization. We owe our freedoms to veterans like Mr. Villareal, which is why I am recognizing him, and all veterans, with the dedication of this post office.” Congressman Cuellar also thanked local veteran caregivers for their service to those returning home from duty. “I also thank the Veterans Services Office in McMullen County, one of many organizations that work tirelessly to provide the essential care to those who have returned home from service,” Cuellar added.
