On Remembrance Day, we take a moment to honour the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces, reflecting on the significant sacrifices they’ve made for our freedom. Yet, for many veterans, their battle doesn’t end with military service. Transitioning to civilian life can be tough, as they face challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the search for purpose, and the need for social connections.

This Veterans Day, we reflect on the profound impact of milestones and ceremonies in honoring service and commitment. From the military to the corporate world, how can we better celebrate transitions and achievements? https://buff.ly/40EC2Al

When our armed forces' brave men and women return home, their commitment to service doesn't end—it evolves. Many continue their mission by transitioning from military duty to serving their communities through careers in the trucking industry. These veterans bring with them an unmatched dedication to discipline, teamwork, and leadership, qualities that not only strengthen our workforce but also set a powerful example of resilience, adaptability, and perseverance for us all. Trucking proudly offers these heroes an opportunity to thrive in civilian life, providing them with good-paying jobs that honor their skills and sacrifices. Veterans come to us with a wealth of experience and a proven ability to overcome challenges, making them invaluable assets to the industry. Their presence enriches the fabric of trucking, creating a more robust, diverse workforce that is deeply committed to excellence. We are profoundly grateful for the vital contributions veterans make daily, driving their trucks and our entire nation forward. In turn, we strive to provide them with the respect, opportunities and support they so deeply deserve as they continue to embody the spirit of service that keeps America moving. #VeteransInTrucking #ThankYouVeterans #TruckingHeroes #ServiceToSuccess #VeteranStrong #DriveForward #TruckingIndustry #VeteransInTransportation #HonoringOurHeroes #ResilienceAndPerseverance #SupportOurVeterans #TruckersMoveAmerica #VeteransInCivilianLife #LeadershipOnTheRoad #VeteransDriveAmerica #nothingwithouttrucking Werner Enterprises Kenworth Truck Co.

Let us take a moment to reflect on their courage and express our gratitude for their service. Together, we can ensure that their legacy lives on by supporting veteran initiatives and fostering an inclusive environment for those who have served. How will you honor our veterans today?

Listening to these comments in the video you can see a common thread that “serving others” has AT LEAST a 2-fold benefit……..it obviously benefits the one being served, AND it also benefits the one serving!! Lesson to be learned: it’s always a WIN-WIN to serve.

Veterans with mobility issues through being wounded, injured, illness or age, deserve to be able to travel with dignity, not be manhandked on and off aircraft like a sack of potatoes, risking injury, or death. They deserve to know their wheelchairs will not be damaged during a flight or during loading and unloading. United Airlines had the opportunity to have its replacement fleet accessible but chose not do. Janet do not wait for legislation that could force your airline to be accessible but show some humanity and humility to not only disabled veterans but all mobility disabled people, first by starting discussions with your aircraft manufacturers to make accessibility a priority. https://chng.it/XLVWt2Ls5y #unitedairlines #health #wellbeing #veterans #MemorialDay #AccessibleTravel #Wheelchairs #Disability #Transportation #aviation #AccessibleTourism #PVA #aircraft #accessibility #military #veteransaffairs

Those of us that served, had very little in say in the grander circumstances of our service. I chose my job (MOS) but I didn't choose my first language. I didn't choose my first unit. And I didn't choose my deployments, and I didn't choose all of my team members for those deployments. Most service members end their time in service before hitting tenure limits. There's always another deployment, another conflict, another operation on the horizon for which your brothers and sisters in the service will undertake without you. When I chose to PCS back to language school to pursue a different language after my first two deployments, my old unit went back to Iraq before I think I had my first real exam. It tore me up, I spoke to a SNCO in my class about wanting to leave language school to go back to Iraq with my unit. I felt like I was betraying them because I chose other career options. He walked me through the flaws in that logic. The Marine Corps, the military, the DoD, is larger than any single unit's deployment. If they couldn't do it without me, they wouldn't have let me PCS. I was valuable, but I was not indispensable. And by getting another language, I was making myself more valuable. By imparting my learnings to those young Marines at the language school, I was raising their value. Fast forward a year, and I chose a joint-service assignment rather than go back to a Marine Corps unit. My roommate went to MARSOC (I wasn't MARSOC material), many of the young Marines I served as a Platoon Sergeant at language school went on to fleet units, most of them went to Afghanistan. The first Marine Corps KIA in our MOS in generations (may he rest in peace), came out of that group of Marines. This time, I was a SNCO, feeling those same feelings of regret, of failure. This time, my MasterGuns (may he rest in peace) walked me back through a similar conversation. I never begrudged those Marines who got out, whether they left for school, family, politics, to become a tattoo artist in Cost Rica, didn't want to go back to war, or were just tired of the military. They're all reasonable. Lastly, how much did my First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, or Battalion Commander impact me while I was deployed? Very little. Even when our BN CO was removed, I was more annoyed that I had to take time away from operations, and shave for the first time in weeks, because the incoming BN CO felt he needed to come tell us. Leaving after 24 years of service is in no way a betrayal. #marinecorps #veteran #radbn #oif #mcsb #usmc #votevets

This is just not acceptable.
