This Veterans Day, we honor every man and woman who has served our country. 🇺🇸 And we’re especially grateful to Muny Conservancy Board Member, Sgt Tim Gaestel, a US Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who stood before the Austin Planning Commission on October 27th to share something deeply personal: after Tim served his country, Muny saved his life.

For more than 100 years, these 141 acres have been a place to breathe, heal and find community. Under the heritage oaks, on the fairways and among friends, Muny has given countless people, including those who’ve carried the weight of service, a place to come home to.

Tim, thank you for your service, and for your courage in sharing your story. Muny is better because you’re part of it. 💚

To every veteran who has found peace on these fairways: this place is yours, too.
