Davenport University Will Honor Veterans on Veterans Day

As a way to recognize veterans for their military service, during times of war or peace, Davenport University and its chapter of the Student Veterans of America (SVA) will celebrate Veterans Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the W. A. Lettinga Campus, Sneden Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Members of the military will display vehicles and equipment like those currently used overseas. Visitors will be encouraged to sign a flag and write letters to deployed DU students currently serving in combat. There also will be a blood drive, military recruiters, and a free hotdog lunch. A live stream of the events will be shown for those who cannot attend at the Lettinga Campus.

It begins at 10:30 a.m. with a welcome and presentation from student veterans. At 11:00 a.m. there will be a moment of silence, followed by the National Anthem, 7-gun volley, and taps. A FREE lunch follows (hotdogs, chips, pop, coffee, hot chocolate)

It all takes place at Davenport University, W. A. Lettinga Campus, Sneden Center, 6191 Kraft Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512
