This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave individuals who gave everything in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to our freedom will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Drury University will be closed today, May 25th, in observance of Memorial Day.

50 years later, and somehow it feels like no time has passed at all. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, reconnect, and make the 50-year reunion so special. We loved welcoming you back home to Drury and reliving old memories while creating new ones together. It was a joy to honor the incredible bond of the Class of 1976. ❤️

Great day to celebrate 20 years of D2 baseball with so many alumni.
