Veterans Day Salute
Heartland Heroes: A Veterans Day Tribute
November 11, 2024 - A special tribute to Hokies who go above and beyond to embody the spirit of Virginia Tech's motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve). Attendees enjoyed an exclusive screening of VPM PBS' acclaimed docu-series, Life in the Heartland, featuring the inspiring story of Sammuel Kennedy, a Pamplin student veteran and president of the Veterans@VT student organization.
In-person and virtual attendees came together to honor the sacrifices and contributions of our veterans while gaining a deeper understanding of their experiences. In addition to Sammuel's story, the evening featured guest speakers who shared their personal insights and journeys within the service members' community.
It was an evening filled with inspiring stories and meaningful connections.
