(Laredo, Texas)-The historic Ft. McIntosh Campus was the perfect venue to commemorate the bravery and sacrifices of all veterans during the college’s annual Veterans Day observance ceremony on Friday, Nov. 10. Laredo College administrators, faculty, staff, and students paid tribute to our nation’s veterans for defending our country and protecting our freedom.
The Laredo College Veteran Services hosted the beautiful ceremony. Under the leadership of Director Albert Hernandez, a U.S. Marine Corps and Texas Army National Guard veteran, the department aims to provide veterans and their dependents with guidance and assistance regarding their educational benefits.
“Obtaining the privilege, honor and status of being called a veteran is something prestigious to feel pride over,” Hernandez said. “Whether you served one tour or multiple tours of duty in active service, reserves or national guard within our country or abroad, you’ve earned the title. As a veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and Texas Army National Guard, I am here to continue serving our veterans and their dependents through Laredo College.
