Annual Breakfast Gathering Honors Veterans

Highly decorated Marine veteran Maj. Gen. T.S. Jones spoke of the challenges associated with a veteran’s transition to civilian life and the roles civilians can play to help to nearly 700 guests at the 15th Annual Veterans Day Breakfast on Nov. 11.

The on-campus breakfast, which is one of the largest in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, featured live music from the University Encore Show Choir and veteran storytelling.

Hosted by the University and presented by the Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania (VLP), along with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, proceeds from the breakfast benefited the VLP, Friends of Danang, Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship and Duquesne University’s Endowed Veterans Student Resource Fund.
