Library Features Display Honoring Veterans Day 2010

 

The UT Tyler Robert R. Muntz Library is featuring a book and photo display in observance of Veterans Day in the third floor. What started as Armistice Day, to honor the armistice that ended World War I on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 has evolved to become a day to honor veterans, whether they served during war or during peacetime, living or having made the ultimate sacrifice, for their service to the nation.
