Veteran's Day Wall of Honor and Care Package Drive

What is the Wall of Honor?

Each year the University of Houston – Clear Lake (UHCL) honors our nation’s veterans by hosting a Veteran’s Day celebration and this year they asked JSC to participate. JSC created a “Wall of Honor” on which employees can write their good wishes and thanks to our service men and women. The wall, which features a panel for each of the military branches, will be travelling to different building on-site and a duplicate wall will be at contractor facilities.

The wall will be displayed at the UHCL Veteran’s Day celebration on Nov. 11. After the celebration, one wall will be divided into its individual panels, and each panel will be sent to its respective military academy, along with a title panel and images reflecting military contributions throughout NASA’s history. The second wall will be sent to a military hospital.
