SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Members of the Lackland Cadet Squadron Honor Guard were recently called upon to present the colors for the ribbon cutting ceremony at Stinson Municipal Airport. The ceremony signified a nearly $4.8 million dollar project that started in 2006, and added two wings to the Airport tower and terminal. Stinson Airfield is the nation’s second-oldest city airport where it sits in southern San Antonio as a general aviation reliever airport. The airport was started more than 90 years ago by the Stinson family of aviators.

The Honor Guard consisted of C/Lt Col Gus Rojas, Honor Guard Commander, C/1st Lt Colleen Rojas, C/2d Lt Kris Kerr, and C/CMSgt Nicole Miglis. Nearly three hundred people were in attendance. Also in attendance of the ceremony was Phil Hardberger, Mayor of San Antonio who thanked the cadets for all they do in addition to their already jam-packed daily schedules.
