LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Veteran appreciation

Auburn has more than 150 years of history transforming college students into military officers. During that time between 14,000 and 18,000 young men and women have left The Loveliest Village on The Plains to become officers in our Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force. Auburn should put some effort into honoring our military from the Auburn community who gave their lives in the line of duty. These days less than one percent of our nation serves in our military, about six percent of our population are veterans. If Auburn is going to tout and brag about their support for the military and veterans, they should honor all of those who died in service of our great nation.
