UWS Holds Ceremony to Honor Veterans

SUPERIOR, Wis. — Meanwhile the University of Wisconsin-Superior had its own Veterans Day ceremony.

Awards were presented in honor of Lieutenant Henry Blomberg, who attended the Superior school before serving in World War One and receiving a Distinguished Service Cross.

Attendees of the ceremony heard from veterans who went to UWS about their time in the service.

The school hopes the ceremony gave students the chance to honor veterans and recognize their sacrifices.

“It’s really just an opportunity for UWS, the local community, to take some time out and just remember the service and sacrifice that our veterans and those service members that are currently serving across the country have done for our nation,” said Lieutenant Colonel Jesse Peterson, United States Air Force.

UWS encourages its students to thank veterans for their service and listen to any stories they are willing to share.
