"Today we acknowledge the ultimate sacrifice that innumerable U.S. military personnel made to secure the many freedoms we enjoy as American citizens.

For those of you whose loved ones died while in service to our country – or even for those who are still in service – please know that the University of Louisville community keeps your service and your loved ones’ sacrifice close to its heart. Commitment to military service takes an exceptional strength of will that deserves our respect and support. I, for one, am proud that the University of Louisville remains nationally recognized for its active support of military service members and veterans." - University of Louisville President Gerry Bradley
