Schmidt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of their visit, both AD Veatch and I hosted the crew at Mizzou Arena to watch our Men\u2019s Basketball team <a href=\"https:\/\/mutigers.com\/news\/2025\/1\/25\/mens-basketball-no-22-mens-basketball-wins-top-25-showdown-over-no-16-ole-miss.aspx\">defeat Ole Miss<\/a>. During the game, they also received a special on-court recognition, alongside Bruce Loewenberg, a dedicated Mizzou supporter who has served on the Commissioning Committee for the USS Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delegation also met with <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.missouri.edu\/departments\/naval-science\/mizzou-nrotc-command\/\">Naval ROTC<\/a> faculty and midshipmen in the <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.missouri.edu\/\">College of Engineering<\/a> to discuss their work and the importance of the USS Missouri to our nation\u2019s security. After several days on campus, the crew members traveled to Jefferson City to meet with Gov. Mike Kehoe and attend the State of the State address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mizzou is proud to support all who keep our country safe, including veterans, active-duty military and ROTC cadets and midshipmen. I want to thank the entire crew of the USS Missouri for their service and example of leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Mun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were recently joined on campus by crew members from the USS Missouri attack submarine: Commanding Officer Gieorag \u201cG\u201d Andrews, Senior Chief Robert Weaver and Petty Officer Colten L.
