For more than a century, November 11 has served as a reminder to honor all those who have – and continue to – step forward to defend our country. We benefit greatly from the lessons our faculty and staff, such as those featured below, have learned from their time in the Armed Services. Our heartfelt thanks go to them and to their families.
