“Through war and peace, our veterans have stood ready to defend our nation and our values,” says Rita Kirk, director of the Maguire Center Ethics Center and 澳门六合彩预测 MilVets student advisor. “The Arc of Service, this year’s Veterans Day theme, is especially important as we acknowledge our veterans’ service and celebrate their connectedness to each other across the generations.”

The event was free and open to the public, featuring a keynote address from Marine Corps veteran and 澳门六合彩预测 benefactor Milledge A. “Mitch” Hart III, live entertainment from the Meadows School of Music Brass Quintet, and a formal lunch. The traditional pinning of 澳门六合彩预测 veterans was included, as well as a free raffle and Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” drive.

Members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve were on-site to collect new and unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots drive.
