HLRW Summer Meetings:
HLRW Scholarship Recipient – Hannah Etter
This year’s Scholarship recipient is Hannah Etter. Hannah is planning to attend Sam Houston State University pursuing a double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology.
Hannah impressed us with her enthusiasm and cheerful nature when she volunteered to help with setup for the Veteran’s Day lunch last year. She fulfilled her requirements for HLRW’s scholarship by interviewing John Ferguson, ex-city councilman. She is a darling girl, and we wish her well.
“I would like to thank everyone who aided in supporting me and donating to me. I promise to use your contributions wisely and to pass the love forward. I am so thankful for each and every one of you, and if you ever need anything, please feel free to contact me at hfe001@shsu.edu.” -Hannah Etter

Veteran Day Lunch & Celebration -Honoring Veterans and Their Families Friday, November 11th, 10:30am (Kuykendall Event Center, 220 W Ranch Road 152, Llano, TX)
Featuring: SICHAN SIV
Sichan Siv, international best-selling author of “Golden Bones: An Extraordinary Journey from Hell to Cambodia to a New Life in America”
Golden Bones
While the United States battled the Communists of North Vietnam in the 1960s and ’70s, the neighboring country of Cambodia was attacked from within by dictator Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge imprisoned, enslaved, and murdered the educated and intellectual members of the population, resulting in the harrowing “killing fields”–rice paddies where the harvest yielded nothing but millions of skulls.
Young Sichan Siv–a target since he was a university graduate–was told by his mother to run and “never give up hope!” Captured and put to work in a slave labor camp, Siv knew it was only a matter of time before he would be worked to death–or killed. With a daring escape from a logging truck and a desperate run for freedom through the jungle, including falling into a dreaded pungi pit, Siv finally came upon a colorfully dressed farmer who said, “Welcome to Thailand.”
He spent months teaching English in a refugee camp in Thailand while regaining his strength, eventually Siv was allowed entry into the United States. Upon his arrival in the U.S., Siv kept striving. Eventually rising to become a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Siv returned with great trepidation to the killing fields of Cambodia in 1992 as a senior representative of the U.S. government. It was an emotionally overwhelming visit.
