We are so happy to be here in sunny San Antonio today to spend this preeminent national holiday.
Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.
It is a delight to come back to San Antonio and to see so many friendly and familiar faces.
Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.
