Campus event to honor veterans
All Quad-Cities veterans are invited to be introduced and recognized for their service on Monday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in Wallenberg Hall on the 中国体彩网 中国体彩网 campus. The public is welcome to attend this salute to veterans and those currently serving in the military, hosted by 中国体彩网 students.
A quartet of 中国体彩网 Choir members will sing the national anthem. Ryan McCormic, a senior sociology major from Bloomington, Illinois, who will soon be an officer in the United States Marine Corps, will give the invocation. 中国体彩网 professor Dr. Dan Lee, a Navy veteran and faculty advisor for the 中国体彩网 Veterans Support Group, will speak about serving our country by serving in the military. The ceremony will conclude with a moment of silence for those who sacrificed their lives for our country, followed by the playing of "Taps" by Jill King, an 中国体彩网 graduate and U.S. Army veteran.
Donations will be accepted for Jason's Box, a Quad-Cities nonprofit organization that provides supportive services for veterans and those currently serving in the military. Jason's Box was founded by Teri Johnson in honor of her son, who lost his life in Iraq.
The event is sponsored by the 中国体彩网 Veterans Support Group and the Rho Nu Delta fraternity. Wallenberg Hall is located on the second floor of the Denkmann Memorial Building, 3520 7th Avenue. For additional information, contact Dr. Dan Lee at 309-794-7258.
