2 Veterans Day Dedication On November 11, 2015 several students participated in a Veterans Day event, which took place at Exeter Library. My peers and I helped out with this event by providing traffic/parking control and the presentation of the colors for a new monument dedicated to our veterans who have served our country. The event lasted two hours and seemed to have been an overall success.
