In honor of the national Veteran's Day holiday, the newly established Student Veteran's Club on the campus of MSU will be hosting several events throughout the Bozeman community to honor the men and women that have served in our country's armed forces. MSU's campus will be hosting an all day ceremony during which volunteers will read aloud the names of more than 6,200 veterans whose lives have been lost in the wars in Afganistan and Iraq since 2001. The event is part of a larger nationwide Remembrance Day National Roll Call in which 182 colleges from all 50 states are taking part.
Campus Corps leaders T.C. Knutson and Sean Cochrane , from MSU-GF and M-Tech respectively, will be making the trip out to Bozeman to take part in the event. The ceremony will be taking place from 9am to 5pm in the Leigh Lounge in the Strand Union Building on MSU's campus. The roll call will conclude at 4pm with a remembrance ceremony during which the audience will hear from keynote speaker U.S. Senator Jon Testor.
