Veterans Day Commemoration

Veterans Day at Kent State is a long-standing tradition to honor those Golden Flashes who have served in the armed forces. Whether you’ve served or if you want to recognize peers who have, please join us as we salute those who served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force. The Veterans Day Commemoration Committee has designed a special ceremony to pay tribute to veterans and servicemembers.
