U CELEBRATES VETS
http://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/u-celebrates-vets/
The University of Utah will honor 11 Utah veterans, including Chris Haley,
who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and lost a leg while trying to aid
another injured solider, at its 18th annual Veterans Day Commemoration
Ceremony, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015, in the ballroom in the A. Ray Olpin
Union Building. The tribute includes a panel discussion, a 21-cannon salute,
an Veterans Day 3awards ceremony and a concert.
The panel discussion, “Forgotten and Abandoned Vietnam Veterans,” will be
held in the Union Theatre from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
“The Vietnam War ended the draft and divides our country to this day,”
said Jim Holbrook, clinical professor of law at the U and panel moderator.
“We still struggle to make sense of the sacrifice of 58,000 American
soldiers in an un-winnable war. This panel will discuss American veterans’
50-year-long experiences of the Vietnam War and its consequences, including
betrayal, abandonment, despair, reconciliation and redemption.”
The awards ceremony begins at 11 a.m., symbolic of the history of Veterans
Day, which celebrates the armistice that ended World War I on the 11th hour
of the 11th day of the 11th month. Nominations came from across the state,
and the 11 veterans chosen to be honored will receive a commemorative
medallion onstage at the ceremony. Additionally, U student Rich Stowell will
be recognized as the 2015-2016 Student Veteran of the Year, elected by his
peers, and Col. Bernard Fisher, a former U student and Medal of Honor
recipient who passed away last year, will also be recognized. The ceremony
will conclude with a 21-cannon salute at noon.
The final event, the Veterans Day concert, begins at 7 p.m. in the Jon. M.
Huntsman Center, 1825 S. Campus Drive. This is the 60th annual Veterans Day
concert and features the Utah National Guard, 23rd Army Band and Granite
School District High School choirs performing an array of patriotic songs.
For more information about the concert, call 801-432-4407.
All events are free and open to the public. | a*******r
