[Students] Veterans Vigil

[Connie Mears]

    The 17th Annual VETERANS VIGIL program is scheduled for Thursday,
November 6, through Saturday, November 8, 2008.

 

Texas A&M University-Commerce has a longstanding tradition of
recognizing and honoring our men and women with military service.
Special recognition will be given this year to the United States Coast
Guard.  A vigil site will be erected on the East Lawn, MSC, where
sentries will stand guard over an eternal flame.  The flame will be lit
at the Opening Ceremony on Thursday, November 6th, at approximately
12:30 PM, and will burn continuously until extinguished at the Closing
Ceremony on Saturday, November 8th, at 1:50 PM, prior to the home Lions
football game against Southwestern Oklahoma.  During the Vigil pre-game
activities, we will have a military flyover, a twenty-one gun salute,
and a call to Taps.  We believe our Veterans Vigil program is
significant to military and non-military citizens alike.

 

We want to get this message to those that have served in the United
States Coast Guard, as well as all veterans.  Should you be interested
in our program and would like to volunteer to stand guard, please
contact Pat_Perkins at tamu-commerce.edu or call 903.886.5816.  If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me. Your support is truly
appreciated!
