    Retired Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, the U.S. Army's first Hispanic four-star general, caskets' U.S. Flag is removed and folded by the honorary pallbearers during his internment ceremony Nov. 14, 2017, at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, San Antonio, Texas. In 1976 Mexican-American Cavazos made military history by becoming the first Hispanic to attain the rank of brigadier general in the United States Army. Less than 20 years later, the native Texan would again make history by being appointed the Army's first Hispanic four-star general. He had been retired since 1984 and died Oct. 29 after a long illness at 88. (U.S. Air Force photo by Andrew C. Patterson)
