Thank you for your service! The University of Kentucky has a long history of educating and training our military members as well as its leaders. We are proud of that mission that continues today with our Reserve Officer Training Programs. We appreciate the commitment required to serve in uniform and feel honored to have been a part of that preparation.UK recognizes that commitment and sacrifice in a variety of ways. Our iconic Memorial Hall was dedicated to the fallen of WWI and our Memorial Coliseum to those who gave all in WWII and subsequent conflicts to include Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2017, the University of Kentucky became the first institution of higher learning to sponsor an Honor Flight. Seventy veterans along with their guardians, many of whom were also veterans were taken to Washington D.C. on Armed Forces Day, May 20th, to see their memorials. For most this was the first time seeing their memorial. For others, it was the heartfelt receptions in Washington and back home that made the trip special.
