COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - The City of College Station held its annual Veterans Day lunch recognizing its veteran employees.

On Tuesday morning, city employees came together for lunch at Veterans Park to honor those who have served or are currently serving in the military.

The city's Human Resources Manager Marissa Harris said about 12% of city employees have served in the military or are continuing to serve as reservists."When they get deployed, there is extra work that our supporting employees pick up for them, so it really is a way to honor both our Veteran employees and the teammates who support them while they're deployed," Harris said.
