#SpartansWhoServe:
MSU veterans share their service stories

Last year, as part of MSU’s Veterans Day Celebration, over 120 Spartan veterans and their families submitted stories about their time serving in the military. These submissions included personal stories of experiences as far back as World War II and extending to soldiers still on active duty today. As we honor Veterans Day, learn more about a few members of the Spartan veteran community who shared their service stories and how you can help support the over 400 student veterans and 2,000+ military-affiliated students who call MSU home.
