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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities will begin Monday, Nov. 9, with coffee and hot chocolate from 9:30 to 10 a.m. in Building 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Nov. 10, a Veteran Appreciation Lunch will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week will conclude on Thursday, Nov. 12, with the Veteran of the Year Recognition Celebration from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebrations take place alongside Veterans Day, observed annually on Nov. 11. Originally established as Armistice Day in 1919 <\/a>to recognize the end of World War I, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American military veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinclair’s Veteran Appreciation Week offers the campus community an opportunity to thank veterans for their service and recognize their contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
