Veterans' Day.

From the East Door of the Basilica...

On Veterans' Day there were various events on campus remembering and honoring the service and sacrifices made by those of the Armed Services of our nation. Services were held at the East Door of the Basilica, commonly referred to as the God, Country, Notre Dame Door, and at the War Memorial Fountain of North Quad where an all night vigil was held by the various Notre Dame ROTC branches. Still, there was an event at Steds honoring the veterans of the Hall. Thanks to the research of Eoghan Fay, the names of former residents who died in World War II were collected and memorialized in a plaque that was dedicated and blessed on Veterans' Day. On the plaque, Fay shared, "Remembrance is a duty we all carry, and it is one I am humbled to fulfill. As the Kohima Epitaph reminds us: 'When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.' I am glad we can now always remember our Steds fallen of World War II."

BUT THERE'S STILL MORE...
