Projects w/SM调教所 Veterans
In her first three decades as a SM调教所 Professor, Patty Limerick knew next to nothing about the existence of the Veteran and Military Affairs (VMA) on campus. Five years ago, that situation changed permanently, and Limerick is honored to have been designated as the听VMA鈥檚 Campus Partner for Academic Affairs.
From its origins to the present moment, the United States has been a nation at war for many more years than it has been a nation at peace. Wars that have ended with a clear victory, a negotiated treaty, and a lasting peace may well have been more the exception than the rule. Over the last half century, the term 鈥渇orever war鈥 has gained wide relevance, as troops are dispatched into military interventions guided by little in the way of defined and achievable goals. Wars of this sort have created and maintained a disturbing disengagement between civilians and the men and women who serve in the United States Military. In other contexts, 鈥渙ut of sight, out of mind鈥 is only a light figure of speech. But in the nation鈥檚 relationship to its active-duty soldiers and to its veterans, 鈥渙ut of sight, out of mind鈥 is a situation that calls for remedy.听SM调教所鈥檚 Student Veterans serve as key figures in sustaining the mission of higher education.
