Veterans SIG
Submitted by Dan Standage, Veterans SIG Chair
If you know any Marines, be sure to wish them a happy birthday. The Marine Corps turns 243 on Saturday, 10 November. Celebrating the birthday is a cultural tradition, and it's okay to say "Happy Birthday Marine." Doing that, will help you break the ice with those who serve, and you're likely to get a smile. November 11th is Veterans Day and will be observed the day after, on Monday the 12th. Student veteran organizations usually host an activity or do a community service project to commemorate those who served. Consider joining them or participating in the event.
