NMC invites the campus and community to attend its annual Veterans Day ceremonies either in person (between the Tanis and Osterlin buildings on NMC’s main campus) or virtually (via Zoom at https://nmc.zoom.us/j/99338087545) beginning at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 11.
- Welcome remarks by Kevin D’Alessandro
- Student veteran remarks by Brandon Williams, U.S. Navy veteran and current NMC student
- Flag raising ceremony presented by the VFW, Post 2780 Honor Guard
* Star Spangled Banner performed by the Traverse City Central Marching Band
* Three Volleys/Taps and a rifle salute in honor of the fallen will be performed
- Closing remarks by NMC Board member Doug Bishop
* All remarks will be delivered from the flagpole area.
Origin Of The Three Volleys
The practice of firing three rifle volleys over the grave of a veteran, and at other honor military-related ceremonies, originated in the old custom of halting the fighting to remove the dead from the battlefield. Once each army had cleared their dead, it would fire three volleys to indicate that the dead had been cared for and that they were ready to fight again. Three volleys fired has become a tradition to mean the dead have been cared for. It has evolved into a military salute for the deceased serving their country. Firing the three volleys is one of the highest honors to give a deceased military veteran.
