The upcoming Memorial Day weekend is often considered the “unofficial” start of summer. Whether you will be grilling out, visiting family or enjoying the warm weather, we hope you have a relaxing holiday weekend.
We would also like to thank the servicemen and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. After all, Memorial Day is a remembrance to them. Reminders of respect and honor for their service are found throughout the UK campus such as Memorial Hall, Memorial Coliseum, Barker Hall/Buell Armory and the Spanish American War cannon. The next time you pass by one of these sites, be sure to pause a moment and remember those who have given their lives for our country.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
