Veteran Salute

(L to R) Craig O’Connor, Tom Broderick, Nathan Weemhoff

In 1918, at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent on the Western Front as an armistice was declared, thus ending World War 1. Since then, every November 11, western allied nations have paused to acknowledge the men and women who have served in their respective armed forces. Three vets currently serve at TC Christian: Craig O’Connor (Director of Family Relations) Royal New Zealand Air Force 1981-1987; Tom Broderick (HS Bible and Apologetics) United States Army 1989-1992; and Nathan Weemhoff (HS History) United States Army 2006-2014. While Craig’s service was during a time of peace, Tom saw action in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and Nathan saw action in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Thanks for your service, guys.
