DIRECTOR'S NOTE - Veterans' Day | School of Public Health

On this Veterans' Day, I want to thank all those brave men and women who have served our country in times of conflict and peace. Although OLLI is not hosting an event in honor of our veterans this year, we recognize the sacrifices you have made for your fellow Americans.

I also encourage everyone to turn this recognition and praise into action. We must keep up the pressure on our lawmakers to do right by our veterans and active military by improving their access to quality healthcare and mental health services, supporting businesses that hire veterans, and addressing crime and injustice within the military.

Treating our veterans and active military with the respect that they deserve throughout the year is perhaps the best way to say thank you.
