“It鈥檚 an opportunity to honor the veteran population here at 可乐视频 and the faculty that help us every single day,” said Bravo-L贸pez, who is also the president of the VSO. “I also have friends that didn’t make it back, and it鈥檚 an opportunity for me to observe their memory.”
The keynote speaker was retired Major Miguel Reece, who served in the U.S. Air Force for more than 30 years and who recently authored the book, The Disabled Veteran鈥檚 Story: The Sacrifices of Our Veterans and Their Families (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2014).

鈥淚t鈥檚 a great read for veterans and civilians alike,鈥� Bravo-L贸pez said.
