LMI Sponsors “Celebrate America’s Military” in San Antonio

San Antonio, TX, November 12, 2009—LMI was a “Gold Sponsor” of the Celebrate America’s Military (CAM) festivities in San Antonio November 2–11. The annual CAM function honors and gives thanks to those who protect our nation. The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and local business community have used this event to pay tribute to active duty and retired service members for 39 years.

Mark W. Frye, an LMI senior fellow based in the San Antonio office, is in his third year as CAM chairman. This year, he managed the coordination of more than a dozen CAM events, including a kickoff luncheon featuring PGA TOUR golfer Frank Lickliter II, the Spirit of America Dinner, a two-day Air Show at Randolph Air Force Base, a Veterans Day Parade through downtown San Antonio, and a wreath laying at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General James E. Cartwright was the keynote speaker at the Spirit of America Dinner on November 4 at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel. Frye noted, “The Vice Chairman's participation in CAM shows that the leaders in the Pentagon are aware of San Antonio's community-wide celebration and recognize this event for what it is—one of the longest and largest military celebrations hosted by any city in the country.”

LMI is proud to be a part of this grand celebration of active duty and veteran members of our armed forces. A not-for-profit firm headquartered in McLean, Virginia, LMI has served the government since 1961, seeking to improve agency management through independent analysis and counsel in logistics, infrastructure, and resource management.
