As we take time today to honor our veterans, we are highlighting one of our own, Steven Rader '64, who left us with an incredible quote:

"Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the service of all those who served the nation in good conditions and in the worst of conditions, knowing that their lives might well be on the line whether they agreed with the lawful orders they had been given or not. Military service is the ultimate non-partisan duty, staying faithful to the nation and the Constitution, no matter what. It is an honorable and admirable option worthy of consideration by those willing to accept the challenges."
