Thank you from all of us at Veterans Advantage

This Veterans Day Ceremonies Picture Page is dedicated to our United States Veterans, of all branches and periods of service, to honor them, thank them, and show our appreciation for giving up so much of their lives, so we can have so much in our own.

A Time For Gratitude
As citizens of the United States, we have many freedoms people of other countries do not have. We have luxuries, both materialistic and untouchable, making our lives and our children’s lives so very much better. We have the power to choose, to state our thoughts and ideas, and to move freely within our own country. We have the right to protest, vote and purchase our own homes. We can protect our families and ourselves.

However, these luxuries did not come without a price. As U.S. Soldiers, many have left the soil of our country to save the solid ground we walk on today, forever changing their lives and that of their families. Many U.S. Military men and women encountered some of the most gruesome battles to maintain the very freedoms we have today. Sadly, there are soldiers who paid for our freedoms with their own lives.

We all owe much gratitude to those who have served to protect our great country. Because we treasure the peace and freedom we have, the employees of Veterans Advantage are committed to delivering recognition, respect, and rewards to all who have served our nation. Our goal is to thank each and every U.S. military man and woman, both past and present, for their service, and their commitment to maintaining our freedoms. We appreciated the participation of all at our Veterans Day Events and the support of our partner companies who are working everyday to make this happen.

Dance about Vietnam War Gets Washington Post Coverage

I was pleased to see the Washington Post reviewed Into Sunlight, the dance based on the book by David Maraniss, the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist. It is a special look at a series of events surrounding the Vietnam War, and we have been honored to sponsor this very important work of art, and host Veterans Advantage Members to see the production in New York City and Washington DC.
