Western Nevada College sent a delegation of college officials and veterans to the Nevada State Legislature's Veterans and Military Day on March 15 at the Nevada State Library.

And who did the group of WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, Veterans Resource Center Coordinator and Veteran John Jacobson, WNC Senior Accountant and Veteran Cherrice Dotson, and Facility Attendant and Veteran Josh Hogsed encounter? New Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, of course!

Lombardo served in the United States Army after graduating from high school in 1980. His six years of service included the Nevada National Guard and the United States Army Reserve before his launching his law enforcement career with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The event, which honored the state's veterans, service members and their families, was sponsored by the Nevada Department of Veterans Services and the Nevada National Guard.
