Veterans Week Story Feature: Ally Kester & Today’s Veterans Event

At first glance, Ally Kester blends in with any other MSU Moorhead student, walking the halls of Bridges or studying in the Dragon Cafe. But Ally’s story goes beyond that of a typical student, tracing back to the blowing sands of an Iraq desert and serene mountains of South Korea. Read Ally’s full story. Her story is also available on Facebook and Instagram, all stories on IG have a link in our bio!   

Today’s event is a collaboration with the MSUM Library, we hope many of you will be able to come to the presentation tonight! Following the presentation the One Book One Community: Veterans Mask Display will also be showcased, these masks were all made my local FM area Veterans.
