Veterans Day to be recognized with campus activities at UW STOUT

The University of Wisconsin-Stout Veterans Club and the Veteran Services Office are planning a week of events to celebrate Veterans Day from Monday, Nov. 8, to Friday, Nov. 12.

Veterans Day is Thursday, Nov. 11.

Starting Nov. 8, club members will place U.S. flags in the east-side amphitheater of the Memorial Student Center to honor members of the U.S. military affiliated with UW-Stout students or staff members who died, went missing in action or were prisoners of war while serving their country. The flags will remain up the entire week.

A map inside the student center at the main staircase landing is for veterans to mark places they have served. The service/deployment information can be submitted in person or through the campus Connect service.

“We are deeply grateful for the service that military veterans have provide in support of our nation,” said Chris Engen, UW-Stout’s military benefits coordinator. “This week’s events seek to honor all veterans while recognizing and supporting our UW-Stout veteran students, staff and faculty.”
