The Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion would like to thank our PISD Veterans who have defended our country and people of all backgrounds, beliefs, gender, races, and creeds. We all can live the American Dream thanks to these brave men and women. They protect and defend our country and allow us to live our lives with the freedoms we all expect, enjoy, and all too often take for granted. We want to express our extreme gratitude to those who have served and are currently serving in the armed forces. We honor your patriotism and spirit.
