Memorial Hall event celebrates Veterans Day

The University of Delaware marked Veterans Day by spotlighting the young veterans who are now taking classes at the university. 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. Addressing the crowd that gathered in front of Memorial Hall, student Rachel Slay said she is a fourth-generation veteran, carrying on a family tradition that started with her great-grandmother. “She served at a time when women in uniform was an exception, not an expectation,” Slay said. “Every generation of my family has answered that same calling in their own way.” After serving in the Air Force, Slay is now a senior at UD studying psychology and serves as president of the Blue Hen Veterans undergraduate student club. 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
