FORT CAVAZOS, Texas — H-E-B recognized Fort Cavazos leadership, Soldiers and civilians Dec. 15 with a special delivery: coconut cake made from a secret H-E-B family recipe.
The cake was delivered to various offices throughout the installation during the day to show H-E-B’s appreciation for what the installation accomplishes every day.
“We wanted to say a special thank you to you and all of what you do for the post,” stated Graciela Velazquez, the Fort Cavazos area community coordinator for H-E-B. “This cake is a symbol of our appreciation for your commitment and sacrifices that you make every single day that afford us our freedoms every day.”
The cake delivery is part of a now annual tradition, and allows everyone to slow down for a moment before the holidays and to reflect on the community Central Texas provides.
“I talk about Fort Cavazos, the Great Place; I talk about our job as leaders here is to make sure we remain the installation of choice in our Army,” Lt. Gen. Sean C. Bernabe, III Armored Corps and Fort Cavazos commanding general, shared during one of the presentations. “And one of the things that makes us the installation of choice is that we’re nestled very tightly in this community of choice here in Central Texas.
“This is just one more example of how this amazing community takes care of our Soldiers,” he continued. “So I’m appreciative of it and again, this is part of what makes the Great Place, the Great Place.”
Col. Lakicia Stokes, U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Cavazos commander, agreed.
“We greatly appreciate everything that you (H-E-B) all have done and will continue to do for our Soldiers, families and civilians,” Stokes said. “We couldn’t do it without you all; it takes a team and we greatly appreciate it.”
