CLEVELAND, Texas - TelAve -- Across the nation, Veterans Day serves as a time to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces — those whose courage, sacrifice, and dedication protect the freedoms Americans hold dear. This year, the Colony Ridge community proudly joined in that spirit of gratitude as students and staff from International Leadership of Texas (ILTexas) schools came together to pay tribute to local veterans.

Hosted at ILTexas MSG Ramirez K-8, the ceremony was held inside the school's gymnasium and brought together students, educators, families, and community members for a heartfelt morning of remembrance and celebration. The event was attended by students and faculty from both ILTexas MSG Ramirez K-8 and ILTexas Liberty High School, a new campus currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2026.
