As Veterans Day approaches, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have served our nation. Their commitment to protecting others, often at great personal cost, reflects a spirit of selflessness and strength that inspires us all.
On this day, we also honor the families and loved ones of veterans, recognizing the important role they play in the lives of those who serve. May we express our gratitude for their steadfast love and encouragement as well.
Isaiah 41:10 reminds us, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” As we honor veterans, let us reflect on the strength and courage that faith provides in all walks of life.
To every veteran and family member within our Eastern community, we thank you for your service and sacrifice.
With deep appreciation,
Ronald A. Matthews, D.M.A.
President, Eastern University
