Veterans Memorial Garden Honors NC State Alums’ Sacrifices

On Monday, Nov. 11, NC State celebrated Veteran’s Day by dedicating its new Veterans Memorial Garden, a space that serves to honor and recognize NC State affiliated veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in military service to the United States. Located on the Court of North Carolina, this space includes seals for all branches of the United States Armed Forces, and a QR code linking to NC State’s scroll of honor.
