If asked to define the word ‘hero,’ many automatically think of superhero movies or tales of ancient legends. But real-world heroes walk among us, people who go far beyond their call of duty to help make our communities better places to live. Unfortunately, these people rarely show up in Hollywood movies, but their work makes an impact far beyond anything you see on the big screen. That’s why we started the Nuvision Heroes program. To highlight the work of people we consider heroes and give them the recognition they deserve.

As we wrap up the new year, we wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who helped with and donated to one of our many holiday toy drives. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our members and our team, and we are happy to report that we were able to make the holiday season something to remember for quite a few children in need.

I’m sure most of us can remember the joy of waking up on Christmas morning and seeing a tree filled with shiny wrapped boxes, just waiting to be ripped open. Unfortunately, this isn’t something that all kids get to experience. That’s why this year, we are again teaming up with several organizations to help make every child’s Christmas something they will remember forever.

From answering the call of duty to fight against the evils of fascism and imperialism in World War II to fighting against communist regimes in Korea and Vietnam to defending our country against terrorist threats in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, time and time again, our veterans stood strong and bravely fought to protect our freedoms. In November, Nuvision held several events to thank them for their service.
