Thank You Notes to Active-Duty Military & First Responders

Yonah Lobby on Historic, Downtown, East, and Norcross Campuses to write thank you notes for active-duty military and first responders.

If you aren’t near a Brenau campus you can still participate!

You can send an email to alumni.news@brenau.edu with your letter text and we will create a handwritten note on your behalf to be included in Brenau’s submission!

Writing a letter is a simple and meaningful way for volunteers nationwide to say “Thank You” to all who serve. Your kind words could bring lasting joy to a Care Package recipient. 

Operation Gratitude includes handwritten letters in every Care Package sent to our Deployed Troops, Recruit Graduates, Veterans, Wounded Heroes, and First Responders. In these unprecedented times, our heroes need our unwavering support. Taking the time to put pen to paper and share your heartfelt thoughts can be what motivates them to keep moving forward in their duties to our nation.
