"Honoring Our Veterans Today and Always" is the goal for the Hill Country Veterans Center and the volunteers who offer a variety of services for area veterans who have served their country in both wartime and peace.

The late Staff Sgt. Alan Hill and local restaurateur, the late Richard Farris, who owned the Cowboy Steak House, joined forces in 2013 to open the HCVC in the old armory on Meadowview Lane in Kerrville.

The pair saw a need in the community for a place that could provide local veterans with a welcome meeting place, camaraderie and vital support resources.
