This Veterans Day, we’re sharing the stories and experiences of nearly 1,000 Mizzou students, staff and faculty who have proudly served our country.
Mizzou veterans are valued and given support through various programs, including access to a full-service Veterans Center and GI Bill Benefits. In fact, U.S. News & World Report listed the University of Missouri as one of the Best Colleges for Veterans to attend.
Below are a few of the stories our veterans would like to share with you.
