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.

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! 💜
