F or six days in September, Yuba

College hosted the Vietnam Mov-

ing Wall at its Marysville Campus.

This event was in the making for almost

one year, as the College sent off its initial application to

host The Moving Vietnam Wall last September. The vision

became a reality with persistence, and an unyielding need

to bring this incredible monument to our community.

This undertaking could not occur without the countless

volunteers who stood watch over The Wall, support

from Beale AFB, and the committee who worked tireless-

ly to make this event possible: Teresa Aronson, Bryan

Epp, Joseph Stottmann, Inderjit Deol, Tammy Pack, Adam

Pharris, and Don Schrader. To repeat the quote from the

opening ceremony program, “Let us never forget that

freedom is not free.” -Unknown

Pictured top: Police Academy students stand at attention during Open-

ing Ceremonies. Pictured middle: Second semester nursing students

visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall to pay respect to "Eight US Military

Nurses who died in Vietnam: 7 from accidents, 1 from a communist

rocket, when it struck her medical facility."

The Wall was setup on Thursday, September 12, in prepara-

tion for Friday’s opening ceremony. Speakers included Dr.

Carla Tweed, CMSgt Charles Anderson, Chancellor Houston

and pictured below, Master of Ceremonies, Professor Jukes.

There were over 70 visiting col-

leges and Yuba College programs

participating in this year’s CID!

With over 800 high school sen-

iors and over 500 current Yuba

College students attending the

event—it was a grand success!

Thank you to every faculty, staff,

administrator, and Peer Mentors/

student volunteers that assisted

with this event, and to the CID

work group of Cheryl Latimer,

Tammy Pack, Jessica Gaytan, In-

derjit Deol, Irma Guzman and

Barbra Sluder. This group spent

countless hours planning and pre-

paring for this event. Director

Kandola would like to give a spe-

cial thanks to Cheryl Latimer

who serves as a General Counse-

lor and Chair of the CID

Workgroup. Cheryl spent a sig-

nificant amount of time coordi-

nating this incredible event and

worked tirelessly to ensure that

our students received the very

best for this event. Cheryl, your

efforts deserve the highest of

recognitions.
