Members of the UK community observed Veterans Day, a day celebrated since the first anniversary of World War I on Nov. 11, 1919. UK organizations found their own way to honor fallen soldiers.

The Veterans Resource Center showed the documentary “The Way We Get By” throughout the week at Worsham Theatre. The film is about a group of senior citizens who gather at airports to greet soldiers coming home and veterans dealing with age, loneliness, war and mortality, according to its Web site.

The center will host a special screening of the film Thursday night in Memorial Hall at 6 p.m., said Anthony Dotson, director of the center.

“It’s just kind of a touching look at service and the influence one person can make,” Dotson said.

The UK Army and Air Force ROTC programs participated in activities of their own on Wednesday.

Maj. Kris Morelan, an assistant professor of military science, said the Army and Air Force had a challenge against each other, which included a relay race.

Morelan said the event aimed to foster comradery between the two organizations.

The Veterans Resource Center is located in room 124 of Funkhouser Building and was founded to provide traditional support to UK military and veteran members with service and assistance, according to its Web site.
