Remembrance Day National Roll Call 2011, Nov. 11
by Jamie Gonzales |
Friday, Nov. 11, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Student Union
Student Veterans of UAA would like to invite you to participate in the Remembrance Day National Roll Call.
Following the 10th anniversary of 9/11, it is important that the nation remember those
who have given their all in the global war on terrorism.
Through the National Roll Call the students of America's colleges and universities
can demonstrate a commitment to remember those who, as President Lincoln said, "gave
their last full measure of devotion." Our goal is to have a minimum of one school
in each of the 50 states participating in the National Roll Call.
As a participating school, we pledge to:
- READ - We need students, faculty, staff, community leaders, family members, veteran supporters, etc. to volunteer to read the consolidated list of war dead from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).
- PAUSE - At 10 a.m., 1100 hours, Pacific Standard Time, we will pause for a minute of silence to honor the fallen. (1100 hours is the time the armistice was signed on Nov. 11 to end World War I and is the traditional moment for such events.)
