Veteran’s Drive Renamed in Honor of Late TWUVC Chair

Veteran’s Drive Renamed in Honor of Late TWUVC Chair

As some of you might already know…my dad passed away unexpectedly on May 20, 2015.  My dad was a proud Vietnam veteran, who dedicated his life to helping other veteran’s and their families.  He’d give anyone the clothes off of his own back.  My family was incredibly touched to see this article on the TWU (Transport Workers Union) website last night, so I thought I would share.

The TWU Veterans Committee will once again support Operation Military Embrace’s annual “Operation Free PX” drive, which collects clothing, household items and funds for wounded warriors recovering at San Antonio Military Medical Center in Texas. Each year, TWU locals from around the country donate their time, resources and generous gifts to benefit nearly 21,000 soldiers and their families during the holiday season.

This year, the drive has a special meaning for TWU: it has been renamed in memory of beloved TWUVC Chairman Emeritus Hank Trujillo (pictured above left with ATD International Representative Jose Galarza and Secretary-Treasurer Alex Garcia). Over many years, Brother Hank worked tirelessly as a steward and chief steward for TWU Local 568. He was appointed Chairman of that local’s Veterans Committee and focused on members who were active and retired military. His dedication to military members was later recognized at the international level when he was asked to serve as Chairman of the International TWU Veterans Committee, a position he accepted with honor. Hank remained active with the committee even after his retirement from American Airlines. He touched the lives of so many of our members, and we cannot think of a more fitting tribute than to rename this charity drive in his honor.
For new donated items, please see your Veterans Committee representative for shipment or send them to the TWU ATD office at: 1791 Hurstview Drive, Hurst, TX 76054-3430. Monetary contributions can be made online or by mailing a check to the address listed there. We look forward to making this year’s drive the most successful yet, and honoring Brother Hank’s memory by helping our wounded warriors.
You can find more information on the link provided for Operation Military Embrace and on the TWU Official Site.  Please take the time to read up on this donation drive, and spread the word.  Thank you so much!!

Fallen Hero

Unfortunately, my dad passed away on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 7:55 am.  I am beyond heartbroken, and it’s actually too hard to compose an entire post at the moment.  Instead, please see below for information on an organization my father felt passionately about.  If you choose to donate, please see the information in the post about how to donate in his name.  Thank you so much.

Hi everyone,

As you all know, Henry “Hank” Trujillo passed away on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 7:55 am. Some of you might know him as simply a coworker, but he was so much more than that. He was a Vietnam Veteran who had a passion for helping other veterans. He was an active member of the Transport Workers Union Veterans Committee and truly enjoyed helping and following the work of Building Homes for Heroes. He was also a husband and a father. He was the type of person who went out of his way to help everyone else, and put everyone else’s needs before his own. We all have different ideas of what a hero is and, even though we knew he was special, seeing the outpouring of love and respect for him, and the thoughts and prayers for our family during this horribly difficult time…we know he truly was one. Not just because he served our country, but because of his commitment to help those in need.

In light of this, our family is asking that, for those who choose to do so, please make any small contribution to Building Homes for Heroes in my dad’s name. Please see the information below to make your donation as simple as possible:

Organization Website: http://www.buildinghomesforheroes.com/about
Donation Link: https://co.clickandpledge.com/sp/d1/default.aspx?wid=71680

***Follow the steps on the Donation page and include the following information at the bottom of Step 2:

Comments: Please include any heartfelt comments you might have about my dad.
Donate in Someone’s Name: Transport Workers Union Veterans Committee
Donate in Memory of Someone: Honor and Memory of TWU Veterans Committee Chairman Emeritus Hank Trujillo

Our family is truly thankful for all of your comments, emails, phone calls, visits, thoughts, prayers and respect. We take comfort in knowing that he is looking down on us now and is proud that we’re carrying on something he was very passionate about.

Thank you,

The Trujillo Family
