Celebrating Veterans Day NAS Jacksonville style
Columbia College-NAS Jacksonville
Nov. 25, 2013

“Please join
the veterans on our Columbia College staff in honoring the service and
sacrifice given by our students!”
These
are the words that greeted NAS Jacksonville students on Nov. 11 as
they made their way to class. The staff
at NAS Jacksonville created a poster with photos of veterans to show how much
they appreciated each and every student who made the commitment to military
service. Cookies and other treats were
set out on a table decorated in patriotic colors and veterans also were given a
red, white and blue lapel pin to commemorate the service of all veterans past,
present and future.
Director
Lori Henry, a U.S. Army veteran, reported that all
of the veteran students were very appreciative of the efforts by the staff and
that she plans to make Veterans Day special every year.
