For Alamo Heights residents, the White House's request for $87.6 billion in supplemental spending has significant implications, particularly in terms of the potential impact on local military personnel and their families. As the Department of Defense seeks $67 billion for urgent needs related to the war against Iran, it's likely that some of these funds will be allocated to support military operations at local bases, affecting the lives of service members and their loved ones in the San Antonio area.
