Northeast State hosts our annual commemoration of Veterans Day on Friday, Nov. 11 with a ceremony honoring the sacrifices of the nation’s servicemen and women.
Sponsored by the college’s Veteran & Military Student Success Center, the ceremony will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the Regional Center for the Performing Arts Theatre on the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport.
The theme for Veterans Day 2022 is “Honor” as designated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans are proud of their military service in defending our nation. Honor reflects the military value and tradition of answering the call to duty. There is distinct honor in serving to protect our way of life and the Constitution of the United States of America.
Veterans Day is observed on November 11 in commemoration of the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Hostilities officially ended in 1918 at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Formerly called “Armistice Day,” the holiday was originally intended to honor veterans of the First World War. The meaning of the holiday was expanded later to honor all U.S. military veterans who served in either wartime or peacetime. Northeast State is proud to honor our veterans, their families, and all the men and women who have served our country.
The event is open to the public, and the community is encouraged to attend. For more information, contact 423.354.2528.
