Transportation Programs Salute Veterans
Dear Veterans,
In this ever-changing world, we at the Minnesota State Transportation Center of Excellence (TCOE) know a few things to forever be true.
Service is not only the backbone of the transportation industry, but the driving force behind liberty and justice for all in our country. To all of you reading this now, all who served before you, and to all who will serve in the future, WE SALUTE YOU!
From all of us at the TCOE, and our college partners across the Minnesota State College and University system, thank you!
Join us in proudly recognizing just a few of the many service men and women who are part of our Minnesota State Transportation programs.
