Northeast Texas Community College will host a Veterans Day Cookout on Tuesday, November 11th, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Eagles Nest (outside the Student Union Building). The event is open to students, faculty, and staff as the NTCC family gathers to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation.
Guests will enjoy free burgers, sausage on a stick, chips, desserts, and drinks, along with an afternoon of fellowship and gratitude. Attendees are encouraged to show their support by wearing red, white, blue, or camouflage as a visible sign of appreciation for veterans and their families.
“This event is more than a cookout — it’s a time for our NTCC family to come together, celebrate community, and honor the courage that protects our freedom every day,” said Fatima Fuentes, Financial Aid/Veterans Specialist, who is organizing the event.
In addition to the cookout, NTCC will launch a new tradition this year — the “Wall of Honor.” Gold stars will be displayed to recognize NTCC veterans and their service. Veterans who would like to be acknowledged during the event are invited to email their full name to Fuentes by 3:00 p.m. on November 10th.
As the saying goes, “When a veteran serves, their family serves with them. Their strength is the foundation of our freedom.” NTCC invites everyone to join in this special celebration of service, sacrifice, and community.
