In fact, more than a quarter of current Maritime cadets are veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the individuals themselves, our campus is enriched by veterans. Under the leadership of Jim Press in the history department, NMC students have been part of the national Veterans History Project, recording the oral histories of veterans, for several years. The NMC Foundation also is honored to steward and award two scholarships for veterans or the descendants of veterans.<\/p>\n<p>We owe much to these men and women willing to serve and sacrifice for their fellow citizens.
