Today we honor all veterans—past and present—who have given of themselves in service to our country. As a nation of free people, we express sincere gratitude for their protection, courage, and bravery.
Whether active-duty, in-reserve, or returning from service, veterans should have access to support during their transition into higher education. At the State System, not only do our 14 universities offer special assistance to veterans, ranging from admissions and financial aid counseling to tutoring, but we now provide veterans with class scheduling preference that will afford them an early opportunity to lock-in their preferred courses. These are just a few simple things we can do for those who have done so much for us already.
We also owe gratitude to the many military veterans who are already part of our campus communities. Without their service and their sacrifice, the rest of us would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we do today. Everyone should say thank you to our veterans; not just today, but every day.
