The color guard of the university's combined ROTC units participates in undergraduate commencement at Pinnacle Bank Arena on May 4. In observance of Veterans Day, the university will hold a roll call of all Nebraska veterans who have died in conflicts from World War I through today.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln will observe Veterans Day by participating in a national project that honors American service men and women who died in wars.
The Remembrance Day National Roll Call event is 12:45 to 5:20 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Nebraska Union Platte River Room. It will include a reading of names of all Nebraskans who died in wars between World War I and present-day conflicts. The roll call will begin with the presentation of colors followed by a moment of reflection.
Volunteers reading the nearly 5,000 names include students, faculty, staff, veterans, members of the ROTC, active duty military and dependents. This is the seventh year of the campus program.
The Veterans Day observance is free and open to the public.
