Hello Sandy and others,

Mission Funeral Home is and was in San Antonio, Texas. Fort Sam Houston is
in San Antonio also. There is a cemetery "national" for Vet's in San
Antonio, but I can't think of the name to save my life. If your person died
in Temple, Texas then he might have been buried in Temple wish is not around
San Antonio. The records at Fort Sam Houston are not easy to get to. We
have tired for years to get our Mellick's records from the base with not
much luck. He was said to have started the first motor pool at Fort Sam.
If I can be of any help just give me a holler.
