Honoring veteransYale marked Veterans Day with the traditional observance in front of the university's World War I memorial. Among the speakers was Keith Buckholz ’27 (pictured), a Marine Corps veteran who is now studying astrophysics at Yale as an Eli Whitney student. Buckholz called on the nation to reflect on how it has used its military and "when we fell short of a genuine, noble pursuit of peace." Then, he said, "think about tomorrow. Think about today's service members, tomorrow's veterans. Where will they be sent? What sacrifices will we ask of them? They are trusting us to task them with doing good in the world. They are trusting us to ensure the sacrifices that they make are for the good of people. And when they come home and they ask what it was all for, they are trusting us to have answers."
