Veterans Day on campus

Posted on November 10, 2010 by Staff

At 11 a.m. today (Thursday) UNC ROTC cadets and midshipmen will assemble in dress uniforms for the university’s annual Veteran’s Day ceremony at the Carolina Alumni Memorial in Memory of Those Lost in Military Service, located on Cameron Avenue between Phillips and Memorial halls.

Members of the university and local communities, including veterans, are invited to attend and attendees are invited to a reception after the ceremony. Veterans will be asked to stand and be recognized as the conflict in which they served is named.

This year’s speaker will be retired Col. Bill Causey, a Greensboro native who graduated from Carolina in 1968 and served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam. Causey also has been parachute officer for the 82nd Airborne Division and commander of the fifth Carolina Brigade.

Names recently added to the memorial on campus include Navy Cmdr. Charles Keith Springle, who graduated in 1979 and was killed in Baghdad in May 2009, becoming the first Carolina alumnus to die in the Iraq war, and Army paratrooper Morris L. Walker, a Carolina Covenant Scholar who attended UNC from 2004-08 and was killed in Afghanistan in August 2009, becoming UNC’s first alumnus to die in that war.
