Today, we celebrate and recognize all who have served our country with honor and distinction. It is a day to honor and thank U.S. Veterans for their patriotism, willingness to serve, and sacrifice for this nation. ???? At Letterkenny, we have a deep respect for military Veterans. Did you know that about half of the civilians working in the Army are Veterans, often called “Soldiers for Life”? In fact, close to 40% of the Letterkenny workforce are Veterans from all the military service branches! #VeteransDay

This month, we celebrate National American Indian Heritage Month by recognizing the significant contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives. We honor the legacy of Native American Soldiers who have served our nation with Honor and Dedication. The theme this year is, “Affirming Native Voices: Visibility, Leadership and Service,” recognizing service during peace and war. According to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, there are 574 federally recognized Indian Tribes or Nations in the U.S. Historically, American Indians have the highest military service record per capita. With over 150,000 Army veterans of American Indian and Alaskan Native descent, these Soldiers continue to serve with Honor and Distinction. #BeAllYouCanBe #AmericanIndianHertiageMonth
