Photo gallery Veterans Day: Honoring UW’s veterans and military members
Veterans and military members in the UW–Madison community were honored Saturday with a veterans tailgate event organized by University Veterans Services, followed by a flag presentation and Black Hawk helicopter flyover at the football game at Camp Randall stadium. At the tailgate, UVS highlighted UW programs such as the Missing in Action Recovery and Identification Project, UW Athletics’ Salute to Service Fund, and the 2023 Badger Veteran Photo Project. On Friday, the UW–Madison chapter of Veteran Students of America arranged for small American flags to be planted on Bascom Hill, many with notes honoring specific veterans and military members.
