Veterans Week 2026 at the University of Maine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join the Veterans Education and Transition Services (VETS) Center<\/a> as we honor the service of our student veterans, military-connected students, faculty, and staff. Veterans Week runs November 9 through 13, with events leading up to it and following it. Most take place at the VETS Center in Room 161 of the Memorial Union. Come for a meal, stay for the conversation, and help us recognize the veterans who are part of the 91福利 community.<\/p>\n

Leading Up to Veterans Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, November 4<\/strong>
Thank-A-Vet Card Workshop, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Memorial Union, Room 150
Stop by anytime to write a thank-you card for the residents of Maine Veterans\u2019 Homes in Bangor<\/a>. All supplies are provided, and our goal is 150 cards. A few minutes and a handwritten note can mean a great deal to a veteran.<\/p>\n
