Bobby Hockaday, a campus security officer on the evening shift, was honored March 5 during the annual Veterans Appreciation dinner presented by the Hillside North Neighborhood Association in Troy.
Hockaday, a veteran of the United States Army, and 19 other veterans were guests of honor at the event held at the Troy Detachment of the Marine Corps League Military Order of the Purple Heart in Lansingburgh.
The Veteran Appreciation dinner is an effort to build community by honoring residents who have served in the military. With sponsorship from the Troy Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (TRIP), members of the neighborhood association attended the Neighbor Works Community Leadership Institute in Sacramento, CA and returned to Troy to create an action plan — “The Vets, Kids & Senior Project of Hillside North.”
