All are invited to come and honor America’s veterans as 鶹ý holds its annual Veterans Day observance. This year’s program, “Honoring All Who Serve,” will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11 a.m. on the Student Green at Risman Plaza.
The outdoor program will include a flag-raising ceremony conducted by a joint color guard from the university’s Army and Air Force ROTC programs, and remarks from Kent State President Beverly Warren. The guest speaker for this year’s event is retired U.S. Air Force Col. Richard “Rex” Ray.
All are invited to come and pay tribute to America’s veterans. A special invitation is extended to Kent State faculty, staff, students and community members who are veterans, active service members or who have family members in the military.
A reception in the Kent Student Center Kiva lobby will follow the brief program. In the event of inclement weather, the rain location will be the Kent Student Center Kiva.
