Last week we proudly joined forces with the United Service Organizations (USO) to assemble 1,000 care packages for U.S. troops stationed overseas. Together, we packed snacks and essentials to bring comfort and a small taste of home to those preparing for deployments far from friends and family. This event was more than just packing supplies—it was an opportunity for us to honor the service and sacrifice of our military members and to create meaningful connections in support of their journeys.

On this Veterans Day, we honor and thank those who have served our country to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. From our Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority family to yours, we wish you a Happy Veterans Day!
