OUR VETERANS
TJHSAA wants to honor the service of fellow TJ Alumni in the Armed Services of our country. Our efforts to list these men and women began in honor of Veterans Day, 2013. The origins of Veterans Day date back to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who proclaimed Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919 to mark the end of World War I.
Please add to or correct our list when you view it by sending information to us by email or mail. You are our only source of good information for an important topic.
Here is our current list of TJ Veterans:
