The University ROTC will hold a 24-hour vigil on the north quad starting Friday, Nov. 13, according to a press release from Captain Scott Wright.
The vigil will honor prisoners of war (POW's) and those missing in action (MIA's). The program will consist of sentry detail performed by Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC, accompanied by a continuous reading of the names of POW's and MIA's. A cage will be on display to represent the confinement experienced by POW's.
A drill team performance will conclude the vigil at noon on Saturday.
Everyone is encouraged to attend to show support for men and women in uniform.
