Ninth Annual Black Veterans Day Salute, Black Veterans & the GI Bill: Looking Back 70 Years
In honor of our nation’s veterans, The Ohio State University Department of African American and African Studies Community Extension Center will host its Ninth Annual Black Veterans Day Salute. This salute is to recognize and honor the sacrifices and accomplishments of our nation’s African American servicemen and women who have enabled Americans to enjoy many of the freedoms and rights that some unwittingly take for granted.
This year is the 70th anniversary of the GI Bill. Servicemen and women who took advantage of the GI Bill will be honored. Select honorees will share their stories and experiences with the GI Bill and be recognized for their bravery and unwavering commitment to this country.
If there is an African American serviceman or woman who took advantage of the GI Bill who you believe deserves to be honored at the Black Veterans Day Salute, please call (614) 292-1348 and submit his/her name, branch, and years of service by Oct. 15.
