SUNY Westchester Community College Office of Military and Veteran Services November 2026 

As Veterans Day is upon us, we take this opportunity to honor the men and women who have answered our nation’s call to serve. We recognize those who have served and those who continue to serve, and we are grateful for all they have given so selflessly to our country.

As we honor their service, we also hold their families close in our thoughts. Alongside their service members, these loved ones have made sacrifices of their own. They have spent holidays with an empty chair at the table, celebrated birthdays over the phone, and waited for the call that let them know their loved one was safe. These are precious moments that many of us take for granted. To our military families, we recognize what you have given, and we want you to know that our gratitude extends to you, today and every day.

In celebration of Veterans Day, we are sharing Honoring Our Heroes, a video tribute to SUNY Westchester Community College students and alumni who have served or continue to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. We invite our campus community to recognize the men and women behind them. They are our classmates, our graduates, and our neighbors. We are proud to call them part of the SUNY WCC community. Watch the Honoring Our Heroes video on SUNY WCC’s YouTube.

We encourage you to attend a local Veterans Day event and take a moment to thank those who have served. As you spend time with your loved ones, please remember the service members and families who have given up time together in service to our nation. We owe them a debt of gratitude, and a simple, heartfelt thank-you is one way to express it.

From all of us at SUNY Westchester Community College’s Office of Military and Veteran Services, we wish you and your loved ones a happy and meaningful Veterans Day.
