The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors is once again supporting this holiday collection drive coordinated by County Veterans Affairs. This will be the fifth year the residents and employees of San Bernardino County have an opportunity to show their support for our men and women in uniform, and their families here at home.

The holiday season is a time for family gatherings and joyous good will. This busy season can be especially trying for military families as they “hold down the fort” while their loved ones are deployed, and for those deployed who are so far from home. This year, we will once again show our support for our troops and their families by collecting gift cards of all types, prepaid telephone cards and prepaid credit cards to help our troops’ families have happier, less-stressful holidays and to let them know how much we care.

Operation Recognition
Veterans Diploma Project

In an effort to recognize the men and women whose high school education was interrupted due to their military service or their internment in a Japanese American relocation camp, the offices of the county Superintendent of Schools and the county Department of Veterans Affairs once again hosted Operation Recognition - Veterans Diploma Project.

Through Operation Recognition – Veterans Diploma Project, qualified applicants received a high school diploma at the county’s third Operation Recognition ceremony on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at Oak Hills High School in Hesperia.

“Qualified applicants” are current residents of San Bernardino County and are:

• Honorably-discharged veterans of World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War
  or

• Japanese American relocation camp internees.
