Each year on Veterans Day, we pause to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Their dedication has safeguarded the freedoms we cherish, and their commitment continues to inspire us all.
At Bandera Electric Cooperative, we are especially proud to honor and thank the veterans within our own family—our employees who have served in the armed forces. These individuals exemplify the values of loyalty, integrity, and service, both in their military careers and in their daily work supporting our members.
We give special recognition to:
Parker Dallair, System Operator
Scott Downum, Line Foreman
Ayla Howell, Distribution Design Office Technician
Christian Long, Broadband Technician
Treyton Prickett, Lineman
Taylor Rahtjen, Broadband Deployment Supervisor
Jorge Villarreal Jr., Journeyman Line Technician
Matt Waltzer, Lineman
Kyle Wildenauer, Network Operations Center Analyst
Their dedication to country and community reminds us that service takes many forms, from protecting our nation to powering homes and businesses across the Hill Country. On this Veterans Day, we express our deepest gratitude for their sacrifice and for the example they set for us all. To all veterans—thank you for your service!
