Hope for Heroes Texas CEO Brad Cornell recognized three first responders from Austin and San Antonio law enforcement with Boerne appreciation packages on Saturday morning at the Bevy hotel.

On Saturday, Cornell, pictured wearing the cowboy hat, recognized Jacob with the San Antonio Police Department, left, Javier from the Austin PD, center, and Julius from Austin PD. Cornell said he does not give out the first responders’ last names because oftentimes they work undercover. Star photos by Zachary-Taylor Wright 01/18/2022 12:00 AM
