HONORING VETERANS
On Veterans Day and Every Day , We Salute Those Who Serve
By Miles Z . Epstein Editor , COMMERCE
eterans have won us our freedom and — given their sacrifices — it is impossible to put a price on their service to our country .
Fewer than 10 percent of Americans can claim the title “ veteran ,” and far less than one percent of our population is currently defending us as members of our armed forces . So , it is so important to honor veterans not only on Veterans Day , November 11th , but in every way on every day . You can show your support for these great men and women by hiring a veteran in your workplace , visiting a VA hospital or donating to a veterans ’ program . Companies should understand that it ' s smart business to hire veterans , and when members of the Guard and Reserves deploy , it is America ’ s business to support them and their families . Please join us in thanking America ’ s veterans for their service and sacrifices .
