I don’t know how many of you were in school after returning from Nam, but I never saw an ad like this in the U of W Daily in 1969. As a veteran you kept a low profile and just found other veterans to hang around with. So contrast that era with this one and how Edmonds Community College welcomes their veterans. This is an ad that was developed by Michelle Graves, a member of the ECC College Relations staff and is posted online at http://www.communitywarvets.org. Post member Troy Montgomery is pictured above and, as many of you know, Post 8870 was instrumental in assisting the fund raising for the Boots to Book monument. When I was sent the link to the poster, I immediately asked for permission to show it in our newsletter as I want the Post to know that ECC is treating our veterans the way they should be treated. By dedicating resources of both dollars and labor to assist veterans in making the transition to becoming “student veterans”, the college is reaching out to its veteran population and welcoming them home. We tip our hats to them and hope that each and every veteran out there takes advantage of the GI Bill and the various programs that ECC provides to them.
