Video: The Making of "Stronger Together"
“Stronger Together” honors the hundreds of military veterans, active-duty personnel, reservists and military dependents who attend De Anza each year. It was designed and painted by De Anza Visual Arts students and faculty members, in consultation with student veterans.
