Editor,
The debate involving the observance of Veterans Day is absurd and irrational.
Honoring our veterans, on their day of national recognition, is a simple way we can give back to the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving our military. Denying our veterans recognition on their national holiday is dishonorable and unbecoming of ASUNM.
The service of the men and women in our armed forces has been vital in preserving the freedoms we enjoy as American citizens. Our country is forever indebted to our veterans for their courage, their exemplary service and their selfless sacrifices that continue to inspire us today.
Honoring our veterans is not a Democratic or Republican ideal; it is an American ideal. That is why College Democrats and College Republicans are committed to making sure that UNM does more for those who put their lives on the line to defend our country. We proudly support the resolution that supports and honors our Veterans.
