We recently hosted a special event for our residents at the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH to help raise awareness for breast cancer.

Our hearts go out to all of the women who are battling this devastating disease. Stay strong! ❤

In November, we were honored to join World War II Air Force Veteran Gabriel Malafronte in celebrating his 100th birthday!

The VLB presented him with 100 birthday cards from Texans across the state and a special GLO certificate signed by Commissioner Buckingham.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day special for one of our beloved Veterans! ♥️

World War II Air Force Veteran Gabriel Malafronte will celebrate his 100th birthday on November 10, 2025!

Commissioner Buckingham is encouraging the El Paso community and Texans across our state to send at least 100 birthday cards to Mr. Malafronte, a resident of the Ambrosio Guillen Texas State Veterans Home (TSVH), for his centennial celebration!

Please address cards to:

Earlier this month, our Veterans spent quality time with some four-legged friends on National Dog Day! 🐶

We absolutely love dogs at the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH! They never fail to brighten up our days! ♥

Back in July, ahead of our 20th Anniversary Celebration, the Ambrosio Guillen TSVH was proudly honored with a special county recognition celebrating our legacy of care and commitment. 💙 📄

The El Paso County Commissioners Court issued a formal Resolution recognizing AGTSVH’s excellence, leadership, and enduring contributions to the community.

This prestigious honor is a heartfelt reflection of the compassionate service provided every day by the HMRVSI staff—and their lasting impact on the lives of Veterans and their families. ❤️

We are honored to share this special moment from the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Ambrosio Guillen Texas State Veterans Home!✨

Ahead of our celebration on July 18, 2025, the United States Senate, through Senator Ted Cruz, presented our home with a Certificate of Recognition—acknowledging two decades of service, care, and commitment to our Veterans. 💙

This beautiful gesture reminds us that our Veterans’ sacrifices are deeply valued at every level of government.
