For the 26th consecutive year, the University of Michigan-Flint honored the service and sacrifice of U.S. military veterans during its annual Veterans Day Remembrance Ceremony, Nov. 11. Taking place at the Northbank Center in downtown Flint, the event brought together students, faculty, staff and community members for a morning of reflection and recognition. Flint native Daniel Vela, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Purple Heart recipient and director of Sacred Heart Village, delivered the keynote address. The ceremony also featured performances by the UM-Flint Chorale and Wind Symphony commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, along with participation from the university’s Department of Public Safety Honor Guard.
