Message from Dr. Belinda S. Miles: Honoring those who served
Colleagues,
While Memorial Day is often thought of as the kick-off to summer fun and activities, we are reminded of the solemn meaning of the day and honor the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in all branches of our armed forces. There may be no greater sacrifice than answering the call to defend a nation.
We also honor the families and loved ones of military members. They are often silent partners in service but whose support is meaningful to so many.
If you are interested, here is a document from the US Department of Veterans Affairs that shares the origins of Memorial Day.
To those remembering a loved one on Memorial Day, our thoughts are with you.
Dr. Belinda S. Miles
President
