Hi everyone, our next veteran's coalition meeting is set for tomorrow, Sept. 16 at 1 p.m. at Utah Tech's Holland Building (5th Floor).
If you have an item you would like on the agenda, please let me know before 11 a.m. tomorrow. As always, having items on the agenda helps me apportion time appropriately so that we can discuss all that we want to in the one hour we have.
See you at Utah Tech!
Thanks, David
Hi everyone, each year, the City of St. George pauses on September 11 to reflect, honor and remember.

The dedication of Southern Utah National Cemetery will be Wednesday, September 10 at 9 a.m.
An estimated 1,340 veterans will now have access to VA burial option with the opening of the National Cemetery Administration’s 157th cemetery.
The cemetery is located at 2181 W. 1600 S., Cedar City, West of Interstate 15, south of Cross Hollow Road (Rt 130).
This is a special meeting, and not just because of the location. We will spend the lion's share of the meeting talking about our various Veterans Day events and what we can do to support each other. I anticipate this meeting lasting 90 minutes to 2 hours, so heads up.
I know that there are three main Veterans Day events, which include:
• Veterans Day Parade and program in Washington City
• Veterans Day event at SunRiver
• Veterans Day event at Utah Tech.
We will want to discuss what these events will include and what needs may be present.
We will also have our regular meeting items as well, so PLEASE send me your agenda items by the end of the day Monday. I look forward to seeing you Tuesday, August 19!
