In recognition of the service, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans and military members.

Being a veteran is not just what we do, it's who we are. We make sacrifices for causes greater than us. We serve, we lead, we protect. I want to remind you that all honorable service is valued and is worthy of respect. Whether in a field, a shop, an office, or a kitchen, we did our jobs because that's what veterans do. So the next time we see a veteran, let's not care about what war they were in or what medal they were awarded. Let's just be grateful that they served, that they led, that they protected. And let us always keep in remembrance the brave men and women who are currently serving. Let us also continue to support our cadets as they prepare to embark on journeys to make their own indelible mark on history. Think of veteran today. It's because of their sacrifices yesterday that make all of our tomorrows possible. So to everyone who has worn a uniform in service of this country and completed your assignment, from the heart, thank you for your service and thank you for a job well done.
