Killeen, Texas is such a unique place for so many reasons like being a very affordable and great place to purchase a home and raise a family, to being home to the largest military post on the entire planet that also employs nearly 10,000 civilians. Obviously Fort Cavazos would be special simply by being in Texas, but it also has been a central place in the advancement of the greatest technology Earth has ever created.
