Flores shared the accomplishments of Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, the Army’s first Hispanic four-star general; Lt. Gen. Marc Cisneros, a three-star general, who also served as president of the Texas A&M University at Kingsville, and Maj. Gen. Alfred Valenzuela, who commanded Army-South, and served in three combat corps and six infantry divisions.
