Mid-America Christian University will host its annual Veterans Day Celebration on Tuesday, November 10, beginning with a 9:30 a.m. brunch to welcome veterans and their families. Following the meal, a special chapel service will be held at 10:55 a.m. in the JASCO Chapel, bringing together students, faculty, staff, and community members to recognize and honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
The celebration will feature guest speaker Kevin Tushka, a proud Choctaw citizen and U.S. Army Airborne veteran who served for nine years and participated in two foreign wars. Tushka is a MACU alumnus, having earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology, and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in ministry.
