#VeteransDay is both solemn & celebratory, a time to remember patriots who sacrificed their lives for our nation’s freedom, as well as a moment to celebrate what makes America America – volunteerism spurred by a duty to serve our country and represent its highest ideals. (1/x)

I want to thank members of our College community and their loved ones who have served in uniform. You're our heroes, and please know that @TheAmerCol is committed to enriching the lives of our active-duty and military veterans and their spouses in the years ahead. (2/x)

Because, while gratitude is deserved and necessary, it’s not enough. @TheAmerCol leans on the words of former President John F. Kennedy, who implored, “we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” (3/x)

Despite all of the challenges brought on by a once-in-a-century global pandemic, we continue to live by our words, just like veterans live by duty, honor, and country. I hope you join me today in thanking our nation’s heroes. (4/FIN)
