Military families have had to endure career interruptions, frequent changes of address, and a disproportionate share of parental responsibilities. Military children often deal with changes in schools, separation from friends and, hardest of all, the uncertainty of whether Mom or Dad will live through their next combat tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while not all Veterans see war, all who served in the military have expressed a willingness to fight if called to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterans have given us freedom, security, and the greatest nation on earth. It is impossible to put a price on that. We must remember our Veterans. We must appreciate our Veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All members of the UUP Buffalo Center Chapter are encouraged to attend the Veterans Day Celebration here at the university on Thursday, November 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;at 11:00 a.m. in the Buffalo Room located in Capen Hall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God bless our Veterans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ken Kern<br>Chapter President<br>UUP Buffalo Center<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Colleagues, On the 11th hour\u2026of the 11th day\u2026of the 11th month\u2026the fighting of World War I ended in 1918.
