Hometown Heroes of South Texas: Gina Guajardo & Jerry Arteaga Stories from the Rio Grande

The Museum of South Texas History hosted the spotlight exhibit "Hometown Heroes of South Texas: A Veterans Day Exhibit" during November 2022.

Exhibits & Collections Coordinator Melissa Peña curated this exhibit with personal items from four veterans: Gina Guajardo, Jerry Arteaga, José Villarreal and Jessica Villarreal. The veterans also shared their stories through a video produced by the MOSTHistory Communications team, which inspired more recordings of other individuals with similar experiences. This podcast season will feature veterans from across South Texas.

In this fourth episode of season five, Communications Officer Pamela Morales de Hendricks and Exhibits & Collections Coordinator Melissa Peña discuss the exhibit and the veterans who were featured.
