Student Government to Honor Veterans
Fairmont State's Student Government is sponsoring a Veterans Day Ceremony at 10 a.m.
Friday, Nov. 11, in Gym 1 of the Falcon Center.
Speakers for the event will include FSU President Daniel J. Bradley and FSC&TC President
Blair Montgomery. Student Kasha Brown will sing the "National Anthem," and the FS
Marching Band will provide music.
During the ceremony, four FS students who are also U.S. Marines who have recently
returned from Iraq will be honored. The three students are SGT. Oscar Aguilera, LCPL.
Nathan Carpenter, LCPL. James Riffle and LCPL. Jordan Ashcraft.
"The Fairmont State campus and the Fairmont community need a time and a place to
say thank you to those who are serving their country," said Student Government Director
of Public Relations Sandra Ramirez-Clavijo, a junior at FS and a four-year U.S. Army
veteran.
"We want to honor our veterans, especially our fellow students, who have chosen to
temporarily pause their civilian lives for service to their country."
