TERPVETS

It is entirely fitting that Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are both observed in the same month. After all, the brave men and women who have answered America’s call to duty through the years deserve our deepest thanks. As a supporter of Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP), I know I agree. I’m also certain you will take time to remember our service members who are in harm’s way — far from their families —... when you gather with your loved ones this Thanksgiving.

I had the privilege of rubbing elbows with many wounded warriors yesterday as I attended the 4th ( I have attended all of them) TERPVETS reception in Cole Field House and football game (Byrd Field) at College Park. While we lost (AGAIN) the homage paid to us and especially those wounded warriors, two of whom I proudly stood with on the field as we formed the tunnel at half time when the players emerged from the locker room, was indeed inspiring. As we walked from the west end zone to the north to form the tunnel, the crowd stood and applauded all of us as we past in front of them!! I was moved to tears and very proud of my alma mater
