BATTLE CREEK, Mich. –
On November 11th, our nation pauses to honor and recognize Veterans Day, a day dedicated to paying tribute to the courageous men and women who chose to serve our nation in the armed forces. These selfless individuals, including Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Guardians, committed to the oath of defending the Constitution of the United States, often at great personal sacrifice.
In this year's Veterans Day program video, we bring you a heartfelt message from the DLA Disposition Service Director and hear from several veterans within DLA organizations at HDIFC. With nearly 60% of our workforce having a background in military service, our agency stands as a testament to the enduring values of duty, honor, and sacrifice.
This video goes beyond mere recognition. It highlights the legacies of four remarkable individuals with close ties to the building we work in, individuals like Percy Jones, a decorated war hero whose courage inspired all. We also remember Philip Hart, a veteran turned United States Senator known for his advocacy of a just and compassionate society.
Bob Dole's unwavering support for veterans' causes and Daniel Inouye's remarkable journey from soldier to statesman remind us of the enduring impact veterans can have on our society.
These veterans, along with many others, spent time recovering from their injuries within these very walls. On this Veterans Day, we invite you to join us in rededicating ourselves to the principles of service, sacrifice, and a commitment to the well-being of our fellow Americans, especially our veterans. Together, let us reflect on their sacrifices and reaffirm our support for them in every possible way.
