In 1954, President Eisenhower rededicated Armistice Day to Veterans Day, calling on us to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom and to promote enduring peace in their honor.
At Loft Federal, we're deeply grateful to the veterans on our team and in our community. Though out of uniform, they continue to promote enduring peace and to serve national security with experience, wisdom, and humor.
Ways to honor veterans today and every day:
?? Hire: Veterans bring a strong work ethic, leadership, and adaptability to any team. Hiring a veteran not only honors them, but it also strengthens your organization.
?? Listen: Many veterans have powerful, unique stories to share. Take time to ask, listen, and understand.
?? Donate or ?? Volunteer: Fifteen in every 100 veterans suffer from PTSD. Veterans make up 13% of the homeless population in the US. Donate or volunteer with veteran-focused charities.
