Area veterans, along with a guest, were invited to the complimentary lunch, held at both the Hudson and Troy locations. Veterans were served by the Culinary Arts and Introduction to Food services students.
REC Principal Anthony Defazio thanked the veterans for their service before the meal was served. “I would like to start by saying how honored we are to serve each and every one of you. It is one of our favorite events and it brings a lot of joy to the building,” he said.
Greene County Commander Tim Burch, Viet-Nam Veteran of Catskill Post # 110 attended the luncheon at CGEC and said, “Questar III students were a breath of fresh air displaying exemplary self-confidence and hospitality to all veterans who attended this celebrated event. The highlight was talking with the students who possessed positive attitudes and reverence towards the veterans.”
CGEC Principal Heather Lansing adds, “The students and staff are all involved in this event, as our way of saying thank you and expressing our gratitude to our local veterans.”
