Sinclair will celebrate veterans and active-duty military members during Veteran Appreciation Week, Nov. 9-13, with activities organized in partnership with the Military Family Education Center.
The week will give students, faculty and staff opportunities to recognize those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces through several events at the Dayton campus.
Activities will begin Monday, Nov. 9, with coffee and hot chocolate from 9:30 to 10 a.m. in Building 10.
On Tuesday, Nov. 10, a Veteran Appreciation Lunch will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The week will conclude on Thursday, Nov. 12, with the Veteran of the Year Recognition Celebration from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
The celebrations take place alongside Veterans Day, observed annually on Nov. 11. Originally established as Armistice Day in 1919 to recognize the end of World War I, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American military veterans.
Beyond Sinclair, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will offer free rides throughout its system on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in recognition of active-duty military members and veterans.
The free service will include fixed-route buses and RTA Connect, the agency’s Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit service. The RTA said the offer is intended to help community members attend local Veterans Day events.
The RTA also participated in the Dayton VA Medical Center’s Veterans Day parade Saturday, Nov. 7. The event, held at the hospital campus, included a resource fair and was open to the public.
Sinclair’s Veteran Appreciation Week offers the campus community an opportunity to thank veterans for their service and recognize their contributions.
