2011 Veterans Day Nat'l Roll Call, Recognizing Our Fallen Military

Friday, Nov. 11, 8 a.m.-5p.m.
Student Union

On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, UAA will join over 100 campuses from across the country in the National Remembrance Roll Call from 8 a.m. -5 p.m. in the Student Union. This nationwide program is coordinated by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Veterans Knowledge Community to honor our fallen military from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Lt. Col. (Ret) Brett Morris, the National Roll Call coordinator, said, "We wanted to rally campus communities across the nation to send a powerful message to the troops currently serving that their peers have not forgotten their sacrifices, or those of the fallen. The reading of individual names is very poignant because it emphasizes the significance of each and every life lost," said Morris, the associate director for veterans affairs at Eastern Kentucky University.

Please consider signing up as a reader for the National Roll Call. We are looking for 90 staff, faculty and students who would be willing to read the names of our fallen military. You would be asked to read approximately 50 names from the podium. We expect your actual time commitment to be approximately 15-20 minutes.
