It's another Memorial Day and the veterans gather as they do most days, to remember the fallen.
They meet at the old white, two-story house with the Corinthian columns and the wrap-around porch that sits on a curved bank above the San Antonio River.
This is home ground of Veterans of Foreign War Post 76, founded in 1917 and the oldest VFW post in Texas.
