Thanks for all that you're doing to support our nation and way of life! It totally takes a village to support a service member and their family and Blue Star provides those extra lifelines!

Welcome! We as Veterans are a family within a family as students here on the U.D. campus. Come by the veteran's office and get a cup of coffee or tea and chat with another military or Veteran connected family member. Get to know the staff and take advantage of all they have for us here!

Welcome! You are an exceptional person because you chose an exceptional lifestyle. The military is not a job, not a career, but a way of life. It’s the only one I’ve ever known and it’s the only one I would ever choose. Blessings
