All are invited to a centering moment led by The Multifaith Chaplaincy this Veterans Day, November 10th, at 8:30 a.m. in Bates Veterans Plaza.

Together we will hear reflective readings and interfaith prayers, observe silence, and share in the ritual of laying flowers of remembrance on the memorial.

Additionally, a vase of flowers will be left at the foot of the memorial from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. if you would like to have a quiet private moment to lay a flower at any point in the day.

Everyone, of any spiritual tradition or secular tradition, veterans, friends and family of veterans, alumni, and all are welcome to participate in this event. 


The Patriots Fund was established by Barbara Remick Newhouse ’66 in recognition and in honor of United States active military service veterans and their families. The Fund provides financial aid for the education of veteran family members who attend Bates.

To make a contribution to this financial aid fund, please contact Eric Foushee, Vice President for College Advancement, at efoushee@Bates.edu.
