Today is Veterans' Day--when
we honor the millions of men and women who, through service
in the United States' armed forces, have contributed
so much to preserving our nation, our freedoms and the
way of life we enjoy. Among our faculty, staff, and students
and throughout our city are many veterans who have served
honorably. Let us pause to reflect on the extraordinary
service of our veterans, to honor their sacrifice, and
to celebrate their contributions, especially to Penn's
dynamic and diverse community. Let us also rededicate
ourselves to ensuring that veterans in the larger community
can enjoy the full spectrum of opportunities at Penn.
