Every year, as a tribute to Veterans Day, we take a moment to honor the courageous men and women who have served in the US armed forces. This tradition originated from Armistice Day, which marked the end of World War I on November 11, 1918, at 11:00. During World War II, more than 16 million Americans served their country, but today, only 167,284 veterans from that era are still among us. It is disheartening to note that, on average, 180 veterans pass away every day. Regrettably, by D-Day 2024, we anticipate that the number of living veterans will decline to less than 100,000, leaving fewer individuals to share their remarkable stories.
To our soldiers past and present, today and always, we owe you our thanks, our safety, and our freedom. We are privileged to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to the millions who have served, as well as those who continue to serve our country, including a number of our own partners. To our own Giroux Glass veterans, we are deeply grateful for your service, your sacrifice, and for the commitment you bring to your work every day.
