On Nov. 7, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., SLCC will host the Utah Veterans Photo Gallery at its Taylorsville Redwood Campus in the Student Center. The photos donated by Utah veterans illustrate their devoted service spanning the past 15 years since 9/11.

Then on Nov. 8, SLCC will host at its Redwood Campus Student Center a Veterans Service Providers Fair 4-6 p.m. and a program honoring veterans 6:30-8:30 p.m., also in the same location. The program will feature the movie The Journey Home and guest speaker Gary R. Harter, executive director for the Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs.

The Journey Home is a Garrett Batty documentary featuring numerous Vietnam Veterans and their experiences of returning home.
