The Green Bay Packers and WPS Health Solutions paid special tribute to Spc. Austen Jahnke and his family during Thursday’s Packers-Titans game for ‘Operation Fan Mail.’

Jahnke, originally from Eau Claire, Wis., joined the Wisconsin Army National Guard in 2015, and has been serving as a gunner with Company A, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry in Menomonie, Wis.

Jahnke became the Wisconsin Army National Guard Soldier of the Year after winning Best Warrior Competitions at both the state and regional levels earlier this year. He recently placed fourth nationally after competing in the National Guard Best Warrior Competition at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., in July.

During his time in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, he also spent time in Florida helping with relief operations following Hurricane Irma last year. He is currently a student at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
