On Veteran’s Day, hundreds of military veterans, active-duty service members and retirees were recognized and celebrated along with family members at the third annual Ingram Micro Veterans Day ceremonies held across three Ingram Micro locations from Santa Ana, California to Indianapolis and Buffalo.

https://www.ingrammicro.com/In honor of veterans everywhere, Ingram Micro and its associates collected and donated more than $10,000 to the Veterans 360 organization that helps recently-separated combat veterans transition to civilian life through a program of support that helps them develop professional and interpersonal skills. In addition, a donation of $2,500 was made to fStop Warrior Project, a Tug McGraw Foundation that provides resources and hands-on support for wounded warriors through creative self-expression using the art of digital photography.

GovCloud Network is a proud sponsor and supporter of Veteran’s 360 in their mission to provide young, recently-separated combat veterans with a program of support that will help them develop the professional and interpersonal
skills needed to succeed in civilian life. As an advisor, and veteran myself,  I am personally proud to be their partner in offering Cloud Technology Certification training.
