November 11, 2018 Members of the Rutgers Community: Today marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. We take time today—and tomorrow, Veterans Day—to honor all those who have served our nation in the armed forces. Rutgers people have been serving America in this way since the Revolutionary War. During World War I, more than 830 of our students and alumni—and four faculty members—served. Twenty-one paid the supreme sacrifice.
