Sinclair Community College will host its annual Veterans Day events on Nov. 12.
Volunteers are wanted for the featured events including a flag-carrying exercise, in which individuals will walk or run around parts of campus while holding the flag.
During the event, individuals or groups of up to five people will carry the flag every fifteen minutes, starting at 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The all-day event will start with reveille, when the flag is raised, and end with retreat, when the flag is lowered.
Current students, faculty and staff members are welcome to volunteer, whether they are a veteran or not. All volunteers will receive a t-shirt.
“Anybody — faculty, staff, students, whether they’re veterans or not are invited to participate,” Veterans Affairs Coordinator Sally Caspers said. “It’s an all day long show of support for the military community on campus, so maybe a spouse or dependent or grandfather was a veteran, whoever you want to walk or run in honor of, that’s fine, or maybe it’s veterans in general.”
Volunteers are also wanted to help place and remove flags across the yard in front of Third Street, as well as operate booths along the route. To volunteer for these events, contact Caspers at sally.caspers@sinclair.edu.
