A memorial tree planting ceremony was held in honor of 1st Lt. John P. Walsh last Thursday, followed by KSU ROTC’s annual Veterans Day ceremony.
Walsh was killed in action April 22, 2012 in Afghanistan and was the first KSU graduate to be killed in the line of duty. A memorial tree was planted in his honor at the East end of the Campus Green.
KSU ROTC then held their annual Veterans Day ceremony with keynote speaker Major Stefan Hutnik, a graduate of KSU who received multiple military awards. The ceremony also included a roll call of veterans.
In attendance was KSU President Daniel S. Papp, Director of the KSU Veteran’s Resource Center Frank Wills, and Dr. Gary B. Roberts, LTC, Advisor of the KSU ROTC Club.
