Today we honor the men and women who have served, and are serving, in the United States Armed Forces. Our nation's service members are courageous, honorable, determined, and committed to duty, and they use these qualities to serve a cause greater than themselves. We are grateful for their service, sacrifices, and enduring contributions to our country.

RPI has a long history of working with and supporting the United States military. Our community includes active-duty students, student veterans, military family members, and faculty, staff, and alumni veterans. Our campus hosts Reserve Officers' Training Corps units for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Their presence on our campus enriches us, and we are thankful for all they do, here and in the community.

We acknowledge the debt that we owe to our service members for ensuring our safety and prosperity. Today, and every day, we honor our veterans for their dedication to our nation and the sacrifices they make on our behalf.
