COUNCIL OF COLLEGE AND MILITARY EDUCATORS (CCME)

#HappyThanksgiving As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to honor the service members who are spending the holiday far from home. Across the world, deployed troops continue to serve with dedication, ensuring we can enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. From festive meals prepared overseas to heartfelt messages from loved ones, these traditions remind our troops they are never forgotten. Their courage and sacrifice embody the true spirit of gratitude this season represents. Let’s show our appreciation by finding ways to support military families, sending messages of thanks, or volunteering in our local communities. Together, we can make this season brighter for those who serve. Photo credit: Rose Gudex USAF #Thanksgiving #MilitarySupport #DeployedTroops #Gratitude #CCME

Honoring Our Veterans Today and Always As we close out Veterans Day, let us take a moment to truly recognize the sacrifices made by those who have served our country. Today isn’t just about remembrance; it’s about honoring the courage, resilience, and dedication that Veterans carry with them long after their service ends. Each Veteran has a story of service and sacrifice that deserves our respect and gratitude. Today, let’s not only thank them but commit to supporting and uplifting them in meaningful ways year-round. To all Veterans: thank you for your service. We are forever grateful. #VeteransDay #VeteranEducation #HonorAndSupport #ThankYouVeterans #CommunityAndEmpowerment #CCME

Happy 249th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Today, we honor the legacy and commitment of the Marines who have served and continue to serve with unparalleled dedication. Since November 10, 1775, when the Corps was born at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Marines have stood as the 'First to Fight' for our nation's freedom and values. At CCME, we recognize and celebrate the contributions of our Marine Corps community—students, service members, and veterans—who exemplify resilience and leadership in and out of the classroom. Your courage and spirit inspire us every day. Thank you for 249 years of faithful service. Semper Fi! #MarineCorpsBirthday #USMC #CCMECommunity #SemperFi #HonorCourageCommitment
