Holiday Heroes Project

This experience was very rewarding. My uncle served in the Vietnam War, so I really appreciated this event. These men and women put their lives on the line for our rights and they deserve the loving support.

We wrote letters to the 187th Infantry (aka Iron Rakkasan) to show our appreciation for their dedication and efforts.

It was a really nice experience to be able to give back to our troops, even in a small way.

It was a nice gesture to write letter the soldiers who are brave enough to fight for our country.

We wrote letters to the Iron rakkasan infantry in Afghanistan

It was so much fun knowing that the letters and drawings we were creating were going to an actual infantry for a child of a faculty member at UT. I got to network with some other ULN members I had never met, and even some '17 cohort members! I hope that our effort will be enjoyed by the soldiers overseas, and it was good to contemplate how lucky I am to be able to be with my family and friends in the United States for the holidays. It was a great perk too to have able to attend the first annual holiday community service event for University Leadership Network.
