Vets At UH
Dane Schiller has a nice piece in Monday's Chronicle about recent U.S. military veterans now on campus at the University of Houston. On average, these students are a bit older than average, and certainly have had fuller life experiences than most college kids, to say the least.
Fundamentally, however, they are everyday young people taking the next step forward in their lives, and it's great to see. These folks have performed a great service for their country, and for those who have been in Iraq and Afghanistan, under tremendously difficult circumstances. Whatever one may think of the country's foreign policy, the overwhelming number of Americans serving do so honorably, and they deserve our gratitude.
So to the veterans on our local college campuses about to begin classes, we say go forward with the next chapter in your lives and continue to serve your country as productive members of society. Get that degree!
