OCTA Celebrates Its Veterans

At its sixth annual veterans appreciation event last week, OCTA honored employees who served in the military as well as those with relatives that serve.

OCTA employs more than 100 veterans from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, and has been recognized by military organizations as a military-friendly employer for its efforts to actively recruit veterans.

They fill a range of positions, including coach operators, dispatchers, maintenance workers and administrative employees.

Directors Al Murray and Greg Winterbottom, along with CEO Darrell Johnson, presented each honoree with a special pin and thank-you note.

Members of the Santa Ana High School NJROTC presented colors and performed a precision military drill in honor of the veterans present.
