โ€œฮ็านพ็ณกโ€™s annual Veterans Day Commemoration is an important event because itโ€™s a single point in time for the university community to come together, acknowledge and reflect upon the service and sacrifices that have been made by members of the United States Armed Forces,โ€ said Josh Rider, Veterans Day Commemoration committee chair and director of the Center for Adult and Veteran Services at ฮ็านพ็ณก.

All were invited to come and pay tribute to Americaโ€™s veterans, especially ฮ็านพ็ณก faculty, staff, students and community members who are veterans, active service members, or who have family members in the military.
