Through its Operation Recognition program, the Sacramento County Board of Education will provide high school diplomas to qualifying veterans (proof of honorable discharge required) who left high school to serve in World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War, as well as to Japanese American citizens interned in WW II relocation centers (proof of internment required).
High school diplomas may be awarded posthumously, so families should consider applying on behalf of a deceased parent or grandparent who lived in (or attended school in) Sacramento County. Diplomas are awarded even if the honoree earned a G.E.D. or went on to college without having received his or her high school diploma. Persons who moved away from Sacramento County, but attended school here, are eligible.
Honorees, their family members and friends will be invited to attend a diploma presentation ceremony and reception the evening of Tuesday, May 18, in the Mather area of the county.
The deadline to submit an application (with necessary materials) is May 3.
Consider doing some detective work ... perhaps someone in your family qualifies for this honor!

But, once you get past the thoughts of your own discomfort and realize that your actions are going to help literally save someone’s life, that 20 minutes of discomfort becomes not so important or trivial.
