## Caption

Today, we recognize #VeteransDay and how military service has shaped the lives and perspectives of five students here at #VirginiaTech. 🇺🇸

Our Virginia Tech community is made stronger by the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students. Among the most unique are those of students who have served or are currently serving in the military, whose journeys to academia reflect resilience, adaptability, and a distinctive worldview. For them, the rigors of military life have shaped their discipline and work ethics while providing them with a deep sense of purpose and leadership that fuels their academic pursuits.

Their stories offer insight into their journeys, their challenges, their triumphs, and the #UtProsim spirit they bring to their fellow Hokies. ➡️
