The Details

MOORHEAD — Minnesota State University Moorhead gave veterans a space to share their stories on Thursday, Nov. 12.

Wednesday was Veterans Day, but MSUM is celebrating veterans all week.

The university is hosting a number of events around campus through Saturday.

On Thursday, service men and women from the Minnesota and North Dakota National Guard shared their experiences surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks and the war that followed.

Panelist Danelle Wolnik talked about why it's so important to share veterans' stories.

"Why things happen the way they do and how to, maybe, how to better understand veterans and better understand them in today's world," said Wolnik, assistant director of veterans outreach at MSUM.

The week concludes with the Veterans Appreciation Football Game on Saturday, Nov. 14, when MSUM takes on Minnesota State University Mankato in the Fargodome.
