Awarded as "Friend of the National Parks"

December 16, 2013

Today, Rep. Doggett accepted a “Friend of the National Parks” award from the National Parks Conservation Association for his voting record and for his efforts to expand the Missions National Historical Park in San Antonio. This National Park preserves the largest collection of Spanish colonial resources anywhere in America. It is an educational, historical and cultural resource that each year brings over a million people to enjoy and learn from it. The park is important to the understanding of Texas and the United States, and has a very strong positive economic impact for San Antonio and Bexar County.
