The SUNY Fredonia Office of Veterans Affairs will host its annual  Veterans Remembrance Ceremony.

The ceremony is slated for Friday, Nov. 8 at 3:30 p.m., in the Multipurpose Room of the Williams Center. The public is invited to attend the free event.

The occasion provides a forum through which the university and surrounding community gather to remember, honor and show gratitude to the countless men and women who have served the U.S. through the many branches of the Armed Forces.
