82 years ago today, thousands of young men stormed the beaches of Normandy knowing what it might cost them.
We don't take that lightly.
To every veteran who has answered the call — thank you. We remember.

Craig Turnage and Derek Snyder joined the Nacogdoches Hero Foundation board meeting with a special surprise presentation for our very own Blake Westmoreland — announcing his selection for the 2026 SFA Alumni Association Lumberjack Pride Award! 🪓💜
The Lumberjack Pride Award honors SFA graduates who demonstrate outstanding Lumberjack spirit, pride, and commitment to the university community.
Blake is incredibly deserving of this recognition, and we are so proud of him! We can’t wait to celebrate with him on September 25th at the
Alumni Association Banquet when he officially receives this well-earned honor.
Congratulations, Blake! Axe ’Em! 💜
The Nacogdoches Hero Foundation was honored to have a special guest join us at today’s board meeting — Officer Spencer Tutt.
We invited Spencer to spend time with us as we presented a check to benefit him and his family following his second serious medical emergency, which has left him unable to work for an extended period of time.
Our board members and volunteers have all grown very fond of Spencer, and we are incredibly proud of our mission to support him and others who serve our community during times of need. He is a truly valued member of the Nacogdoches community and the Nacogdoches Police Department.
The resources we are able to provide are only possible because of the generosity, compassion, and heart of our community. It is through the kindness of our donors, volunteers, and supporters that we can continue showing up for our local heroes when they need us most.
We were so grateful to have Spencer with us today and continue to stand behind him and his family. 💙
