In this image released by the Texas Military Forces, volunteers look on as soldiers line up to enter the Rocking Rodeo Pavilion at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in Houston, Texas, Tuesday, March 2. Of the 3,000 current service members there for Armed Forces Appreciation Day, more than 1,100 soldiers and their family members were brought in by bus from Fort Hood, Texas. In addition to free admission to the park with a military ID, all former and current service members were treated to a barbecue luncheon, a welcoming ceremony complete with Air Force flyover and seats for the Trace Adkins concert later that night.
