Collbran Job Corps Center honors our veterans every year at a Monday assembly.  This year, under the direction of Ms. Evonne Stites and Ms. Christi Laird, all veterans on center were honored by receiving a commemorative photo and biography of the veteran’s service.  Assembly opened with patriotic music and a short speech by our center director, Gove Aker.

The veterans sat on special chairs in the front.  Students from the Intergroup Relations committee read the biography of each veteran,  The veteran then stepped forward to receive a plaque with their picture and biography on it.  Everyone got a standing ovation.

The center recognizes its veterans every year.  We have twenty veterans on center and countless former students who have joined the military.  Our veterans have served from Viet Nam to the latest middle-east battles.  We are proud of all of them and honoring them yearly is a small token of our regard.
