The Forever Media Altoona cluster of stations in Altoona, Pennsylvania collected more than 3,800 thank you cards for local veterans as part of their “Operation Thank You 2022” initiative.
A spokesperson for the station group said local elementary, junior high and high school students helped create and collect the cards, as well as area non-profits, service groups, church groups and other volunteers.
“We are truly amazed and grateful for the outpouring of support from our community,” a spokesperson for Forever Media Altoona said. “Our on-air team, with the support of our sales team, deliver[ed] these cards to area veterans throughout the day on Veterans Day, providing us with an opportunity to personally thank our local heroes. ”
