Moment of silence held during National Roll Call Ceremony on Parade Ground
Trey Couvillion
LSU Veterans and Military Student Services celebrated Veterans Day with a National Roll Call Ceremony and moment of silence on the Parade Ground.
The Ceremony took place early Friday afternoon at the foot of the flag pole. Students, faculty and members of the public joined with Veterans to honor the names of those who have served our country.
A moment of silence was taken during the ceremony at 1 p.m. along with universities nationwide to honor our fallen military members.
The ceremony capped off the Veterans and Military Student Services’ “Old War Skule Week,” dedicated to veterans and those currently serving in all branches of the armed services.

For the record - Veterans Day should not be "Memorial Day in the Fall" - it should be, primarily, about honoring living veterans in our midst. Sure, we can have a remembrance for the fallen and vets no longer with us, but Veterans Day should be a celebration of service, particularly in the modern, all volunteer era, not the somber, mournful observance (as it should be) of Memorial Day.

Armistice Day
The Armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was signed between Germany and the Allies of World War I at Compiègne, France, and took effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The date was declared a national holiday for the United States in 1919, and became a National holiday for many countries in 1938. Armistice day coincides with Remembrance Day and is now commonly known as Veterans Day in America, a day to remember not only those who fought in the Great War, but for every veteran of the United States.
