Several small tables, each set for one person and paying tribute to all branches of the military, were placed at various Penn College locations this Veterans Day week (such as in CC Commons, at left) in honor of fallen and missing military personnel.
The campus community is encouraged to visit the solemn displays and join in appreciation for all who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation’s freedom.
