On Wednesday, March 5,2008, SGT Manny Herrera was one of many Soldiers who reported to Peoria Pontiac GMC for a Packages From Home.org event. Little did SGT Herrera know, the event was for him. Packages From Home, with the generous support of Peoria Pontiac GMC, honored SGT Herrera for his service and sacrifice with a new 2008 GMC fully-loaded full-size crew cab pick up truck. Packages From Home Founder Kathleen Lewis said, "SGT Herrera is a great example of Guardsmen in our community giving of themselves."
