It was a really great time where many veterans showed
support for our efforts, as well as many young, unaffiliated students who
learned about the armed forces and what is like to serve. Brian Fore, President of the Student Veteran's Association downtown, and I were glad to talk to so many interested people.
There were more then enough giveaway items for veterans,
such as shirts and schools supplies. Also, there were many different
organizations supporting veteran’s issues there offering support to those who
asked. There was a great moment when I met a student veteran that said how glad
he was that we put that event on because he would have never have know about
the Student Veteran’s Association otherwise! Honestly, seeing that many people
spend so much time in organization and promotion of an event with this much
meaning was really touching.
Many of my former colleagues and staff I know from the
university showed up to support. Ultimately, this event was extremely
successful and I am really happy to have the opportunity to be involved.

Mr. Serrano it sounds like you created a great event that helped to expand the reach of your association. Congratulations on a job well done. I think it is great that you brought in a number of different organizations that support veterans it can be challenging to know about all the different programs out there and to bring them together in one place helps reduce some of those barriers. Thank you for supporting our veterans who have so bravely supported our country.
