var str = 'Fort Sam Houston was founded as a US Army frontier outpost in 1845 and has been a key part of US military history since that time. The post museum provides a nice overview of the history of the post and thus also much of US military history. Many well known US Army members have passed through the post and it is tied to important moments in US military history including the first military flight. ';

var str = 'This cemetery began as the burial ground for the outpost at San Antonio which was located in the Republic of Texas and then the state. The city cemetery was ceded to the US government in 1867 and again in 1871 and some of the early burials were of Union soldiers who had been placed in the city cemetery or in cemeteries outside the city. Also many soldiers who had died in fighting on the western frontier were later moved here. With the creation of Fort Sam Houston a larger cemetery would be created there. A large communal tomb contains the remains of more than 300 unknown soldiers and a monument was place here in 1912.';

The Fort Sam Houston Base was the largest in the United States at one time; it also held many German POWs during World War II and a few are buried here. When some small Texas frontier military posts were closed, the remains in their post cemeteries were reinterred here.';

var str = 'This city plaza is dedicated to honoring San Antonio's many veterans and houses two main memorials to the Korean and Vietnam Wars as well as the Battle of the Bulge. The Korean Memorial is unusual and stunning. A mound of stone and concrete represents a snow-covered foxhole. Two infantrymen, visible only from the shoulders up as they stand guard, peer front and back. They are bundled up for the extreme cold that forces endured on the Korean peninsula. At the top of the mound are placed a combat belt, canteen and several grenades ready for use. It is a stark memorial in the middle of the city but captures the fierce determination on the faces of the men as well as they hardships they endured. There are two several plaques attached to the mound. One gives the statistics on the number of men who served and who were killed or wounded during the war, while a separate plaque lists the names of 7 local men from Company C who lost their lives. Interestingly, near the memorial and adjacent to brick pavers that were purchased to honor individual veterans is a small plaque that gives thanks to the many Korean Americans in the San Antonio area who contributed funds to the memorial.';

At the far end of the plaza resides the Korean War Memorial.';
