Tomorrow, Congressman Reyes (D-TX) will join Representative Eddie Holguin for a park dedication ceremony and ribbon-cutting at 2:00 p.m. at 520 South Side Rd in honor of Army Specialist Adrian Garcia. “This park represents the unwavering support from the El Paso community for Adrian and his family,” said Congressman Reyes. “We cannot thank Adrian enough for the service and sacrifices he has made protecting and serving our country.” During his first deployment, Spc. Garcia lost his legs during a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack in Ramadi, Iraq in March 2007. Spc. Garcia is now medically retired from the Army. Last month, Congressman Reyes took part in the Home for Our Troops project for Spc. Garcia that provided him with a specially-adapted barrier free home for his commitment and sacrifices to the nation. Spc. Garcia grew up in El Paso's lower valley directly across the street from the new park and after his return from Iraq before the completion of the home built by the Home for Our Troops project. Rep. Eddie Holguin worked with the Ysleta Independent School District (YISD), the City of El Paso, and the El Paso County Water Improvement District to make this park project possible.WHO: Congressman Silvestre Reyes Representative Eddie Holguin WHAT: Park dedication ceremony and ribbon-cutting for Army Specialist Adrian Garcia.
