Happy Memorial Day!

Today is Memorial Day and the university is closed for the holiday.  Wherever you are, I hope you will join me in taking a few moments to reflect on the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces, as well as their families.  We are grateful to all for their service and sacrifice, and particularly those who died while serving.

Think, too, of our newest ROTC graduates in the Class of 2015 who were commissioned last week.  May they be safe and well during their time in the service.
