  <title><![CDATA[Service to Mission: Veterans at GTRI]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>At Georgia Tech Research Institute, 40 percent of our workforce are veterans who continue serving the nation through mission-critical research. For these professionals, the transition from military service to GTRI is not a career change but a continuation of their commitment to national security. The skills they developed in uniform (operating complex systems, leading teams under pressure, understanding real-world military operations) directly strengthen the research they conduct today.</p><p>This Veterans Month, we're proud to share the stories of six GTRI employees whose service across the military branches exemplifies our core values: integrity, innovation, and dedication to the nation's defense.</p><p><a href="https://gtri.gatech.edu/veterans2026">Read their stories.</a></p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
