In honor of Veterans Day, representatives from the University of Missouri Veterans Center laid a wreath in the Memorial Union archway to remember and honor those who have served and are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. This year, we also welcomed guest speaker Col. John Clark, BS ME '62, MBA ’75, who shared his story of perseverance as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. See photos from the event.
