Veterans Day was observed last week and several people took a moment to recognize and honor those who have served or are serving in the armed forces.
This year is also the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I, the so-called “war to end all wars.”
Although the United States didn’t enter the destructive European conflict until 1917, Yavapai College last week held a three-day symposium that explored many different aspects of the war.
The event was held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and involved lectures and films about the war.
The school used its own faculty members to help organize the event, said James Perey, dean of the college’s campus in Clarkdale.
The college organized events on both sides of the mountain, Perey said.
