We are excited to announce that Brennan Avants has joined Operation Gratitude as our Manager Corporate Events. He is based in Boerne, Texas. Brennan joins our team after serving for over two years as a Program Coordinator with Operation Homefront supporting Texas and Oklahoma. Prior to that, he was the Disaster Services Program Manager for the American Red Cross serving Texas Hill Country and completed a 21-year career in the United States Army, retiring as a Blackhawk Helicopter Pilot in 2017. During his career in the Army, he completed two combat deployments to Iraq, one tour in Kuwait, as well as assignments in Germany, South Korea, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama. His awards include the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal with three service stars and the Sergeant Audie Murphy Award. Brennan chose to continue his nonprofit career with Operation Gratitude because he “fell in love with the mission as a volunteer at local assembly events. I know firsthand the power of receiving mail and care packages while deployed. Mail calls every day was a huge boost to our morale and improved our quality of life in austere environments, far from home.”
