It was a great day in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico for the military
veteran community. For the first
time ever we witnessed an Installation Ceremony for a student veteran
association on the island. There
were many community partners in attendance, friends, and veterans alike, came to support
the PUPR Chapter in leading the charge for veteran students.
This association will provide a place for veterans to
communicate about classes, and build a team of people as a support network. This will help them ensure success during their time as a student.
Groups like this are important because they represent veterans in the
civilian community in a positive light.
They do this by giving veterans a chance to communicate with civilians and build long-lasting relationships. We encourage all schools in Puerto Rico
to follow the lead and organize a student veterans association on their
campuses too.
As the Chapter Captain of Team Red, White and Blue, Puerto Rico Chapter, I am
proud to be a part of this historic moment. More importantly, as a veteran, I am proud to be able to pass
along my knowledge and experience to help my fellow veterans make this idea a reality. When I was
attending The Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood, CA I was the chapter
President for the Student Veterans of America (SVA) and that former experience
has proven to be very useful in our current endeavours. All veterans and the civilians that
support us, must take care of our own community. If you have a skill or talent that can
help someone in our community please feel free to offer your services. Let’s BUILD!
Very Respectfully,
