On November 11, our nation gathers on the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918.  We recognize this day as Veterans Day – an opportunity to thank all of the men and women who have served our country in uniform and to remember those who gave what Abraham Lincoln described as “the last full measure of devotion” – giving their lives for our democracy and their fellow citizens. The commitment and courage that members of our armed forces have demonstrated, and continue to show every day, should inspire recognition and gratitude.

We ask that the members of the North Carolina Wesleyan University Community join us at the flagpole in front of Braswell Administration Building at 11:15 on Wednesday morning to thank our veterans for their service and to honor those who “gave their lives that [our] nation might live.”  Please join us.
