Fort Clark’s Veteran and Brackettville Face Military School Bid
An aging Fort Clark veteran, tied to Brackettville Texas, nears discharge as the Army seeks disposal. New legislation may turn the abandoned post into the Fort Clark Military Institute led by ex Vice President Garner and Amon G. Carter. The plan envisions converting the site into a military school while preserving the border legacy and historic springs.
