Mississippi State University President Mark E. Keenum was the featured speaker at an on-campus Veterans Day ceremony Tuesday as MSU students, faculty, staff and community members joined with millions of other Americans around the U.S. to honor and thank veterans, both living and deceased, for their sacrifices. âLet us commit to serving them as they have served our country,â Keenum said, noting that he takes great pride in the fact that MSU consistently is recognized among the nationâs top veteran-friendly universities.
