SCC Salutes Military Veterans During Weeklong Celebration

Published: 11/14/2012

“I’m thankful to the members of the Veterans Week committee,” said Ron Chesbrough, SCC president. “Thank you for bringing these events and presentations to campus to enrich us as individuals and as a community.”

Each of the six events honored veterans from the past and present, with a special focus on SCC student veterans.

At the Student Veterans Panel, SCC students shared their experiences including life on the home front. Angela Peacock, SCC student and Iraq war veteran, shared her story of military service and how she helped bring the Six String Heroes guitar therapy project to the college.
