Porter, Private First Class Stephen F. --
The concept for what we're doing here today was born
among our veteran students.
And Lieutenant Colonel Retired Brett Morris had a vision for
something called National Remembrance Day, and you're
sitting at it right now.
Today 11-11-11, we assemble together to honor those who
have served, and are serving, in our nation's armed forces
and to remember the fallen who gave their all.
And we are playing a very unique part because of
leadership.
We've set the tone, the sensitivity, the appreciation,
for service and sacrifice that our veterans perform daily.
What a wonderful event and thank you President Whitlock
and everybody in Eastern University for the leadership
that you all show-- continue to show-- from top to bottom.
I think we've come to the point where we can just expect
Eastern Kentucky University to lead the way.
And we're very, very proud of that.
