Trinity staff remember their veteran family members
Nelda Cortez, administrative support specialist in the office of Chapel and Spiritual life, sent in a blurb about her father, Jose S. Ramirez. “God and Country best describes our Dad, who served in WWII, 1943-1945, as an infantryman. We’re thankful he returned to marry and start his family, making use of the GI Bill and going mechanic school, mechanics was his profession. Well known in Hondo as “Joe,” he was a proud member of the VFW and the American Legion, serving over 60 years. His patriotism was always displayed by flying the US flag and wearing his award pins on his cowboy hats, caps, jackets, and vests. Joe always had a wave and a friendly smile, striking up a conversation with everyone he met. We honor him and many more today and every day.”
