Holidays with the American Veterans Mission and Our Local Community Partners

The American Veterans Mission (AVM) is teaming up with local community partners to support military families during the upcoming Operation Homefront Holiday Meals for Military Families, scheduled for December 7, 2024. This initiative aims to provide a warm holiday meal and essential groceries to active-duty military families and veterans in need, helping them celebrate the season without the added stress of food insecurity.

The collaboration between Operation Homefront, AVM, and local organizations ensures that these families receive not only a hearty meal but also the support of a compassionate network. The event will feature meal distribution, where families can gather and receive their holiday provisions, strengthening community bonds and showing appreciation for their service.

By supporting the Operation Homefront program, AVM and its partners continue to uphold their commitment to veterans and military families, ensuring they feel recognized, valued, and cared for during the holiday season.

Thanks to Nancy Sanchez and her daughter of Square Away Moving Company, Janie Freed of Girl Scouts of Central Texas, and Tetyana Quiles of Texas A&M University-Central Texas for their invaluable contributions. They have joined our president, Dr. Anthony Martinez, in conducting a site visit of the venue, which was vital in helping us plan and prepare for the smooth distribution of meals and groceries. Their expertise and support ensure that everything will be set up efficiently and safely for the families we aim to serve.

We look forward to seeing our volunteers there and appreciate your support in making this holiday season a little brighter for our military families!

Congratulations to the 2024 Texas A&M University-Central Texas Distinguished Alumni Awards Recipients

Distinguished Alumni

A message from the American Veterans Mission’s President & CEO, Dr. Anthony V. Martinez, September 5, 2024:

“As I prepare to leave for the Republic of the Philippines this weekend, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my mentors, colleagues, alums, and friends at Texas A&M University–Central Texas (TAMUCT) for nominating and choosing me as this year’s distinguished alumnus. Your support and recognition mean the world to me. I also want to congratulate Mr. Abdul Subhani, this year’s distinguished legacy alumnus, and US Army Lieutenant General (Retired) Pete Taylor, the distinguished honorary alumnus.

Receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award from Texas A&M University–Central Texas is a profound and humbling honor. This recognition is a tribute not only to my personal journey but to everyone who has journeyed with me in learning and growth. It’s a testament to the values and education we all received at the Texas A&M University system, which are foundational in our personal and professional journeys. I share this award with the incredible faculty, mentors, and fellow alums. I am proud to be a warrior and committed to giving back to our university and community.

To my mentors, friends, and colleagues, I am deeply sorry that I cannot be physically present at the upcoming event to join my fellow Warriors due to my business travel overseas. My absence is a source of deep regret as I sincerely wish to be there to share the moment with you. Although I will not be physically present, I am honored to celebrate this milestone with you. I look forward to the event’s success and hope you enjoy it as much as I would have.

On behalf of LTG (Ret) Pete Taylor and Mr. Abdul Subhani, who are also deeply committed to our alma mater, we encourage our fellow alumni to join us in positively impacting our community. As alumni, we possess the knowledge, skills, and networks to bring about positive change. Whether it’s through mentoring students, supporting local initiatives, or simply leading by example, our contributions can transform lives and communities. Let’s continue to carry forward the warrior spirit and contribute to a brighter future for all. Our positive actions can inspire and motivate others, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility.

Thanks again for this recognition, and a special thanks to Justice Gregory Johnson, who will be the keynote speaker for this event. Together, everyone achieves more.”
