CHADRON – Veterans will be saluted during a Veterans Day program Wednesday, Nov. 11 in the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center at 9 a.m.

Stacy Swinney, president of the Dawes County Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Gray Eagle Post 1375, will serve as the speaker for the program, organized by the Chadron State Army ROTC. In 2013, Swinney spoke at the Social Work senior class conference about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The VFW Post plans to announce the recipients of the scholarship they established in 2013 and an additional gift to the scholarship.

The local American Legion Post will also announce the first recipient of the Corey Mracek Memorial Legion Riders Scholarship established by the Chadron Chapter of the Legion Riders to benefit current or former military members.

During the program, participation in various Cadet Summer Trainings will be reviewed along with a status update about other ROTC initiatives. Refreshments will be served.

At 1 p.m., the public is invited to an Open House/Grand Opening of the Veteran/Military Resource Center, formerly West Court #26, and meet the staff. For more information, contact Chris Singpiel at 308-432-6417 or csingpiel@csc.edu.
