The Solano County Office of Education is again hosting its annual Operation Recognition event which honors United States veterans and interned Japanese Americans who were unable to finish high school due to wartime circumstances.

“For over a decade, SCOE has been honoring local veterans and their families by awarding retroactive high school diplomas. It is important that we commemorate both living and deceased veterans, and it is a privilege to connect with local families and recognize the sacrifices made by their loved ones and our fellow Americans,” Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson said in a statement.
