A time to honor those who have served, our Veterans Day Program is a time to pay respect and show our support for the nation's veterans. This year's program will begin in our Memorial Courtyard at 11:00 am CST. Our Keynote Speaker is Admiral Patrick Walsh (RET).

Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, a distinguished graduate of Jesuit College Preparatory and the U.S. Naval Academy, holds a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy and a Ph.D. from Tufts University. A decorated naval aviator, he flew with the "Golden Dragons" and served as a test director before joining the "Blue Angels". Walsh later commanded Strike-Fighter Squadron 105, Carrier Air Wing 1, and the John C. Stennis Strike Group. He also led U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet, and Combined Maritime Forces. Walsh served as the 35th vice chief of Naval Operations and chaired the Department of Leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy.
