Veterans Day breakfast

In honor of their military service, veterans are invited to enjoy a complimentary breakfast. This event is sponsored by Central Bank/Central Trust and the Missouri State University Foundation.

“Our freedoms are not to be taken for granted,” said Brent Dunn, executive director of the MSU Foundation. “We hope you will join us, so we can thank you for your service.”

Guests will hear from guest speaker, retired Army Col. Thomas Marty.

Music will be performed by the 135th Army Band, Windfall. The MSU BearTones will also sing the National Anthem.

Breakfast is free for all attendees, but registration is requested by Nov. 4. Register online or call 417-836-5654.
