I have been fortunate to live for multiple decades. I attended Veteran’s Day events in elementary, middle, and high schools. I have attended Veteran’s Day events in more than college. I have attended Veteran’s Day events throughout our great nation. The City of Oakley’s Veteran Day observance was the first I have attended, where Veterans were not asked to stand and be recognized.

As a council member, I am embarrassed that the City of Oakley bypassed that recognition. I will work diligently to ensure such a disrespectful act does not happen again to our Veterans here in Oakley and throughout the United States. Considering Councilmember Anissa William was conducting the event, I should not be surprised by the turn of events.
