Happy Veterans Day!
We gather as a nation on Veterans Day to pay tribute to every man and woman who took time out of their life to serve our nation with unparalleled dedication and commitment to our common defense. Although we most certainly do thank you, at Stirling we won’t go with the trite, “Thank You for Your Service” and shake your hand, instead we’d like to say that everyone at Stirling is grateful for the sacrifices that you made when you raised your hand to take the oath to defend the United States.
With over 1.2 million service members serving our country and 16 million veterans, each of you has a unique story of service and sacrifice that we want to acknowledge and honor today. Whether you served 70 years ago or are currently serving, we acknowledge your service and the sacrifices you and your family made to serve our country.
Today, we encourage you to reach out to the veterans in your life and recognize their service. At Stirling, we’re also taking the opportunity to honor and commend the veterans throughout our community, as well as the parents, spouses, children, and family members of our employees who have served or are currently serving.
Your service shows what we can do as a country when we have citizens from every walk of life come together to serve in our collective defense. The United States is stronger today because of your service.
