It’s Military Appreciation Week at Slippery Rock University.
The week is highlighted by the Veterans Day ceremony which will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Russell Wright Alumni House. SRU Army ROTC will raise the colors, lay a wreath, and fire a 21-gun salute. Other SRU students will participate musically or with remarks.
Immediately following the ceremony, military veterans are invited to attend a lunch with alumni speaker and Slippery Rock Mayor Jondavid Longo who served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps including a combat deployment to Afghanistan.
Veterans and their families who are interested in reserving a spot are asked to contact the SRU Office of Alumni Engagement and the Office for Inclusive Excellence.
