Everyone
around town knows Spike, SMS John Garcia Jr., because
he is a military icon who represents the values
of the Air Force to so many organizations, both
military and civilian. He is a “go to man” to get
things done which is why Congressman Ted Poe chose
him to be a member of his Military Affairs Committee.
I first met Spike at an awards ceremony for young
AF Junior ROTC cadets at a high school where he
presented an award from the Sergeants Association.
Since that time I researched him closely only to
find that he is not only a strong military professional
but takes his civic responsibilities seriously as
well. His talents and abilities are recognized by
everyone from the congressional level to Houston’s
Military Affairs Committee and to veterans organizations
throughout the area. Can a man be everywhere at
once? You would think not, but Spike proves us all
wrong. His Resume’ is loaded with contributions
to the success of military, veterans and civic projects
all over Houston. Rarely does one find an individual
so talented, so resourceful and so willing to give
of his time for the common good of us all. Spike
is a proud member of the Air Force Association and
of our AFA Houston Chapter as well. He personifies
by example the qualities of leadership, dedication,
professionalism and character that we all value
in people who go the extra mile for us.
