J. Peter Frates ’03 and 1st Lt. Derek S. Hines ’99 Servant Leadership Award
Lt. Col. Dick and Christine Moody | Operation Troop Support
Dick and Christine Moody exemplify the true spirit of servant leadership through their unwavering dedication to supporting U.S. service members and their families. Since 2003, their nonprofit, Operation Troop Support, has sent more than 1.2 million personalized care packages to active-duty military personnel, providing comfort and connection to those serving far from home. For many years, St. John’s students and families have actively volunteered with Operation Troop Support. A retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. and Vietnam War veteran, Dick understands the sacrifices of military life firsthand. When their own children were deployed, the Moodys rallied volunteers and supporters to ensure no soldier felt forgotten. Christine, the “heart and soul” of the operation, has been by Dick’s side every step of the way, sorting donations and spearheading initiatives to expand their impact. This selfless service and unwavering commitment to others makes them truly deserving recipients of the inaugural J. Peter Frates ’03 and 1st Lt. Derek S. Hines ’99 Servant Leadership Award.
