Hostos Caimans Men's and Women's Basketball Teams to Start Season
by Thanking Veterans
On Tuesday, November 6, immediately before the home openers of the 2012-13 season against Rockland Community College, the Hostos Community College Caimans men's and women's basketball teams will be honoring some special people in a special way.
The Hostos Athletic Department, along with the Hostos Office of Veterans Affairs, will join Caiman fans, faculty, and staff members not only to greet the teams, but also to salute the men and women in the Hostos family who have served or are now serving in the Armed Forces. This is the fourth year that the ceremony will coincide with the games. It is Hostos' way of saluting Veterans Day, which is observed throughout the nation on November 11.
