With some students in the armed services, Veterans Day honors many people close

to campus. Students enrolled in different branches of the military may move on to

battle after graduation, and some have returned from war to join the University.

This morning, the three branches of ROTC at N.C. State will join to complete the annual

Veterans Day Run. Starting at Miller Fields, the three branches will form and begin a

30-minute run that ends at the Bell Tower, a World War I memorial.

“It’s good to keep awareness so people remember the veterans, both men and

women, who sacrificed for their country.” -Philip Kulczewski, Sgt. U.S. Marine Corps, Lifelong Education

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to honor our veterans. So many of them went to another country, got shot at, and were away from their families.” -Dan Culther, Acting Chaplain

“I call my father every Veterans Day. We need to recognize veterans for

what they’ve done, just because they aren’t on duty doesn’t mean they can

be forgotten.” -Jim Matthews, Air Force ROTC, senior in psychology

“Veterans protect everyone, not just a single party.” – Jared Evans, Air Force ROTC, senior in mechanical engineering

“I’m glad our nation has a day to honor the people we read about.” -Seth

Prior, Naval ROTC, sophomore in accounting

“It’s a good time to say ‘thank you.'” -Mitchell Robinson, Army ROTC, senior in agricultural business management
