On Friday evening November 4th it's our chance to honor those that sacrifice so much for us. Join CMU’s Student Veterans Association for a patriotic night with surviving Benghazi hero, Kris Paronto at the Two Rivers Convention Center for dinner, dancing, drinks and a Silent Auction presented by the Veteran’s Art Center.

When I tell people what I do for a living most reply, "sounds like a fun job." It's true, I have a fun gig. I get to play music, talk on the radio, give away cool prizes and get paid for it. In the scheme of things, what I do matters little.

I also understand that if it wasn't for the service and sacrifice of our military, law enforcement, and first responders, none of us would get to do what we do. On Friday evening November 4th it's our chance to honor those that sacrifice so much for us.

The CMU Student Veterans Association is sponsoring the All Services Ball. They are a part of the national organization Student Veterans of America. Their mission is to provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and post-graduation.
