Mr. Richard Loewenstern, lifelong friend of Albert and Ethel Herzstein and a Board Member of the Foundation named in their honor, described Albert Herzstein´s evolution from a boy in rural New Mexico to one of our nation´s most successful private businessmen, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. The foundation he and his wife created exists to promote education, serve to enrich the human spirit
and work to improve the quality of life for others.
Our chapter welcomed Mr. Loewenstern´s comment that the Herzstein
Foundation´s purpose matched perfectly with what America´s Soldiers do to protect
America´s freedoms and what their Families do in support - every day!
Major Michael Brough of the 4th Infantry Division described the critical
role played by Fort Hood Family Readiness Groups.
It was a theme with which these Family Readiness Group leaders could
immediately identify; they represent just a few of the organizations that will
immediately benefit from this most generous Herzstein Charitable Foundation gift.
Mr. Richard Loewenstern presented Dr. Jim Anderson, President of our
Central Texas - Fort Hood Chapter with a Herzstein Charitable Foundation check for
$33,000 - to be distributed by our AUSA chapter to 4th Infantry Division Family
Readiness Groups.
In turn we presented the Herzstein Charitable Foundation with a model
of the 4th Infantry Division´s Operation Iraqi Freedom Memorial.
