The day I became a veteran Whatever that first day looks like, it marks a change. We emerge from the uniform different from who we were when it was first issued. Taking it off for the final time, even for those who couldn’t get it off quick enough, is profound. It signals that part of life is over. Along with losing the rigors of service, that realization can be difficult for some veterans to come to terms with. For others, it’s exciting. A world of possibility awaits. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/10/when-i-became-veteran/

Thanks to all of those who have served. We owe you a debt of gratitude that is impossible to repay.

Thanks to all of those who have served. We owe you a debt of gratitude that is impossible to repay. I admit that I didn't see it this way when I was at GU, what with the turmoil in Vietnam and all, but I do now.
