We gather today to pay tribute to those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces of our great nation—in wartime or peacetime. The sacrifice and service that the members of our military have made has protected the freedom that is the foundation of our nation; and we will continue to honor these men and women for all that they have sacrificed to make the freedom that we have today possible.This year's guest speaker is Lieutenant General Case Cunningham, the current Commander, Alaskan Command, Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region and Eleventh Air Force, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.  If there is inclement weather, the ceremony will move indoors to Room 101, DeBartolo Hall.Hosted by Notre Dame's Tri-Military ROTC and the Office of Military and Veterans Affairs.

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to a special screening of the documentary A Case for Love. Pizza and drinks will be provided. The screening, sponsored by the Office of Institutional Transformation, is an opportunity for Notre Dame to explore whether unselfish love can bridge the societal divide in America. A Case for Love is inspired by the teachings and writings of the Right Rev. Michael Curry, who recently completed a nine-year term as presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church. Following the screening, (the Rev. Canon) Hugh R. Page, Jr., will moderate a discussion that delves deeper into the concepts of the documentary and their application on campus and in our wider community. Page serves as the vice president for institutional transformation, advisor to the president, and professor of theology and Africana studies. Originally published at diversity.nd.edu.
