Veterans Day Memorial Service

A wreath laying ceremony and observation of a two-minute moment of silence dedicated to veterans will take place this morning at 11:11 a.m. at the Veterans’ Memorial near Harris Hall. In many parts of the world, a two-minute moment of silence is observed at 11:11 a.m. The first minute is offered as a sign of respect for individuals who died in war. The second minute is dedicated to friends and family deeply affected by the war, generally understood to be the wives, children, and families left behind.
