Remember the real meaning of Memorial Day

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!
