The Solano County Office of Education will host its annual Operation Recognition event in the coming weeks. The ceremony honors veterans and Japanese-Americans who never picked up their high school diploma due to wartime circumstances.

For more than 10 years, the SCOE program has provided eligible veterans with retroactive high school diplomas during a ceremony to celebrate their “graduation” and recognize their sacrifices, Jennifer Leonard, assistant superintendent of communications and community engagement, said in a news release.
