Scott and Jo Lynn Hofferkamp spent Thanksgiving showing their gratitude to our country’s soldiers by hosting two airmen from Lackland Air Force Base for Operation Homecooking.
Each year the program places 2000-3000 airmen from basic training squadrons with families for Thanksgiving to get a homecooked meal and some “family time” away from the base. The Hofferkamps hosted AB Blanca-Joy Rosimo, originally from the Phillipines and AB Andrea N. Matamoros, originally from Honduras. They both chose the Air Force to pay for school and travel the world and expressed how fortunate they felt to be in the United States because had they been in their home countries, they felt they would be unemployed. At the end of the day, they exchanged contact information and have already corresponded since. They are set to graduate from Basic Training on December 29th – best of luck to them!
