On this Veterans Day, as the nation recognizes those who have served their country in the armed forces, I would like to extend my own respect and gratitude to our veterans, as well as those who currently serve in the United States military. I especially wish to recognize and thank the faculty, staff and students in the UNMC College of Medicine who have served or currently serve.
Military service requires sacrifice, selflessness and commitment, not only from the person serving, but their loved ones, as well. Today, I join my colleagues and all my fellow citizens in honoring those who have made that sacrifice.
Thank you for your selflessness. Thank you for your commitment.
Thank you for your service.
