VETERANS DAY
Veterans Day – a day dedicated to the cause of world peace – honors all military veterans. Other countries celebrate Armistice Day and Remembrance Day on the same day, Nov. 11, the anniversary of the end of World War I. Military members and veterans leave their families to defend our country and our freedoms. Please express your gratitude.
Visit our website later today for more information on KU’s virtual flag raising ceremony and Dr. Hawkinson’s remarks.
