The Gold Star Hall Ceremony is held annually around Veterans Day in November to honor and remember ISU students who died while serving in the US military. The Gold Star Hall committee selects students whose names are engraved in the Gold Star Hall to be honored each year. The ceremony brings light to these service members' personal lives and the life they lived while at Iowa State through a powerful narration of each honoree's biography. Family members, friends, faculty, staff, students and members of the public gather every year to pay their respects and honor the sacrifice made by these students in service to their country.
