College of the Ozarks honored Veterans and their families during a week of ceremonies Nov. 5–12, highlighted by the dedication of a new POW/MIA Memorial, a Veterans Day sunrise service and a tribute to Missouri service members killed during the Vietnam War. The observances at the Point Lookout campus brought together Veterans, students and community members to recognize military service and sacrifice. One of the week’s highlights came Nov. 5 with the dedication of the college’s new POW/MIA Memorial at Patriots Park. The memorial honored American prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action. The ceremony included unveiling the memorial, lighting an eternal flame, placing a wreath, and playing “Taps.” A public reception followed at The Keeter Center. The following morning, the POW/MIA Network hosted a remembrance service at The Keeter Center, recognizing those who endured captivity and remembering the American service members who never returned home.
