Lt. Gen. Perry L. Wiggins, commanding general, U.S. Army North (Fifth Army), JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, congratulates members of the court after Jon Gary Herrera was crowned the 67th "People's King” or El Rey Feo during a ceremony at the San Fernando Cathedral in downtown San Antonio, part of Fiesta San Antonio. After Fiesta concludes, Herrera, as El Rey Feo, will visit schools, nursing and retirement homes, and other community organizations. The Rey Feo tradition began in 1947 by League of United Latin American Citizens or LULAC Council #2 in San Antonio. All of the festivities of Fiesta San Antonio are for the purpose of fundraising to further education and other charitable goals. Wiggins and other ranking officials representing all of the military services and the military ambassadors attended. Fiesta San Antonio is a series of events honoring the defenders who fought in "Battle of the Alamo" and the "Battle of San Jacinto” in 1836, both important events that shaped the history of San Antonio and Texas. Fiesta celebrates the history of the military in San Antonio and Texas.
