Saluting Every Branch: Our Veterans Day Message

Veterans Day is a day to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Originally called Armistice Day, it was founded in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson to mark the end of World War I and honor those who fought for peace. In 1954, after the sacrifices of additional conflicts, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor all who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and now the Space Force.

Today, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each veteran who has selflessly defended our freedoms. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifices, whether on the front lines or in supportive roles, are deeply appreciated. This Veterans Day, we remember your resilience and honor your commitment to safeguarding our nation. To all veterans—thank you for your service, your strength, and your unwavering commitment. We are forever grateful.
