Honoring those who served on Veterans Day

On Nov. 11, the nation proudly recognizes and honors the brave service members who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is an opportunity to express gratitude to the veterans who have selflessly dedicated themselves to protecting the nation’s freedoms, defending the nation and preserving the values America holds dear.

Wichita State’s Military and Veteran Services remains committed to supporting the university’s military-connected students as they pursue their educational and professional goals. Military and Veteran Services encourages the Shocker community to take a moment on Veterans Day to recognize a veteran, thank a service member or learn more about the contributions of those who have served.

WSU is proud of its military-connected community, including veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and military families. Their courage, sacrifice, leadership and commitment make the campus and community stronger.

To all who have worn the uniform, thank you for your service, sacrifice and dedication. Your contributions do not end when you take off the uniform. The leadership, discipline, resilience and experiences you bring continue to make a lasting impact in classrooms, workplaces and communities.
