University of Central Arkansas issued the following announcement on Nov. 19.
The University of Central Arkansas Veterans Committee hosted its annual Veterans Day event in McCastlain Hall on Nov. 11 to honor those who served in the military. This year was even more special because it marked the centennial since the original interment of the Unknown Soldier.
Pinnacle Brass, the resident brass quintet of UCA, welcomed attendees with patriotic music and accompanied vocalist Annmarie Eaton during the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
The Bayonet Battalion presented the colors. UCA Veterans Committee member Capt. Andrew Fisher was the master of ceremonies for the program.
UCA has hosted a Veterans Day ceremony for 24 years. President Houston Davis said it is important for the campus to pause and appreciate the sacrifices of our veterans which allows us to enjoy our freedoms.
“Here at UCA, our support for our veterans and their dependents is unwavering, whether it is a veteran who is a student, a faculty member, staff member, or a neighbor of ours here in Conway, Faulkner County, or beyond,” Davis said. “UCA wants to be known as a trusted partner to veterans as well as to make certain that we’re providing the necessary services and support.”
