A fresh perspective on service

Faculty, students and visitors of Cayuga Community College heard the words of veterans from past and present Monday.

The college held its third annual veterans remembrance event in preparation for today's holiday. During the program, letters and poems were read aloud from people who had fought overseas in past wars. A current student and veteran of the war in Iraq also gave a fresh perspective of what it means to serve.

And college officials announced the school's plan to participate in a nationwide program dedicated to recording the stories of living veterans for future generations.
