The University of Missouri is hosting a series of events to honor veterans during Veterans Week 2024. Among the activities is a "Thank a Veteran" craft booth where participants can create thank you cards for veterans. These cards will be delivered by student veterans to patients at the Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital.

Mizzou Football will pay tribute to military veterans during their game against the University of Oklahoma on November 9.

A wreath-laying ceremony and remarks are scheduled for Veterans Day, continuing a tradition that began in 1926 when seniors placed a wreath at Memorial Union's archway in memory of fallen Tigers. This year's guest speaker is Col. Lindsey Decker from the Missouri Army National Guard. Decker commands the 35th Military Police Brigade and serves as director of manpower and personnel for the Missouri National Guard.
