Veteran's Day in Ithaca

Ithaca College will be holding another Veteran's Day celebration this year. At 1:00 PM in Ford Hall in the Whalen Center for Music, guest speaker David West will be making his presentation. West is the director of the Bath VA Medical Center.

IC Quilters will be presenting West with a quilt for a patient at his hospital. There will also be a book for writing notes of appreciation to the veterans.

For off-campus visitors, a shuttle will be running from the IC visitor's parking lot to the Whalen center.

Cornell's Veteran's Day celebration will be held at 11:00 AM in the West Campus courtyard. James Nault, a retired Captain in the US Navy, will be presenting a speech on veterans from the Cornell University community. There will be music and a post-speech luncheon.
