Gen. Marc Cisneros is going to participate tomorrow in the changing of command at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX. He is being promoted from major general to lieutenant general so that he can take command of a very important base located in San Antonio. Major General Cisneros is a native of Brownsville, TX. He is a graduate of St. Mary's University. He entered the Army in 1961 when he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in field artillery. During his distinguished career, he served two combat tours in the Republic of Vietnam. He was commander, U.S. Army South, for the liberation of Panama during Operation Just Cause in 1989. Tomorrow, he will assume command of the Fifth U.S. Army at Fort Sam Houston, a position for which he is extremely well qualified. I wish to be the first to congratulate him on his promotion and to welcome him back to Texas.
