UD’s annual Veterans Day ceremony was held Tuesday afternoon, organized by the student group Blue Hen Veterans, the Division of Student Life and the Biden Institute.

She noted that her generation of veterans is the most diverse group of service members in United States history. “We come from every race, faith, gender and walk of life,” she said. “That diversity didn’t weaken the mission. It made it stronger. It shows us what is possible when people from very different backgrounds commit to the same oath and purpose.” Mackenzie Partridge is a Navy veteran
