Veterans' Day.

Steds President Michael Heffernan standing watch

As our Nation pauses to remember our veterans, so does our University. While Notre Dame may not have the day off, members of Notre Dame’s ROTC programs are holding a vigil at the Clarke War Memorial fountain, commonly referred to Stonehenge, to honor veterans. As they do, let us pause and give thanks for the women and men, who throughout time, have risen to the occasion to serve, even sacrifice all, for our Nation, its ideals and freedoms. Indeed, it is the least we could do.

On participating in the vigil, Emmett Galvin, Steds sophomore, Navy ROTC member, and resident Virginian, shared, "Participating in the Veterans Day vigil at the War Memorial Fountain was a great opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve our country. It was a small way to show my appreciation and make sure their service is never forgotten."
