Today, November 11, 2024, we pause to honor our veterans’ courage, dedication, and sacrifices. Thank you to all the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, defending our freedom and protecting our way of life. Your selfless service continues to inspire us all. Happy Veterans Day!
Andrew Dick of Fi360 (now Broadridge) Volunteering with American Veterans Mission in Killeen, Texas
The American Veterans Mission wants to thank Andrew Dick of Fi360 (now Broadridge) for volunteering with us at Texas A&M University-Central Texa on July 20, 2024. Andrew’s company, Fi360 (now Broadridge), was one of the generous donors that ensured Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade® (BTSB) event was a success in the Killeen and Fort Cavazos area last month.
AVM’s chief executive officer, Anthony Martinez, met Andrew in Austin, Texas, on May 19, 2024. During their initial meeting, Anthony and Andrew briefly discussed the importance of volunteerism, community service, and social responsibility, especially in military communities. Andrew and his wife, Susan, drove from Austin to Killeen on July 20, 2024, to volunteer with us in distributing the school supplies kits and pencil pouches that his company donated to 220 military families through the Operation Homefront BTSB program. Last month, it was a pleasure to welcome Andrew and Susan to our small town of Killeen, Texas.
Thanks, Andrew and Susan, for volunteering with us, and thanks, Fi360 (now Broadridge), for supporting programs and operations that benefit the local military families of the Killeen and Fort Cavazos area. Together, everyone achieves more!
