November is Veterans and Military Families Month. For the past three years, The Simpsonian has dedicated the month of November to writing articles about students and faculty who have served or are currently serving.

This started out as an idea between Professor Shane Cox and one of his students. They brought it to our attention back in the fall of 2019, and we have continued this project since.

November was declared Veterans and Military Families month back in 1996, according to militarybenefits.org. A time to acknowledge the sacrifices these people and families have made.

Last week, officials at the White House made a proclamation extending Veteran’s Day memorialization for the month of Nov. continuing the tradition, according to The Military Times.

Veterans Day will be next week on Thursday, Nov. 11.

The Simpsonian thanks you for your service.
