Scott’s View: Remembering Pearl Harbor

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

Scott's View

The end of the year brings up memories for every family, but the end of the year also has special meaning for our military families. From November when we celebrate National Military month and Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Year’s Day, our holiday season is a time of gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy today. 

December is also an important month for our WWII veterans, with the 78th anniversary of Pearl Harbor taking center stage. In our Cover Story this week, written by noted military historian, Brig. General  (Ret.) Raymond E. Bell, Jr., PhD, we take a behind the scenes look at what was happening before  that “day that will live in infamy.” Many thought the United States was well prepared militarily on Hawaii on December 7, 1941. 

The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor commemorates the events of that day. It is a constant reminder for us to always be prepared, and always be grateful for those standing guard to defend our freedoms, during wartime or peacetime.

All of us at Veterans Advantage wish you and your family a safe and peaceful holiday season.

Cover Story: “Black Hawk Down” Comes Back into Perspective Over 30 Years Later

 In the storied annals of military history, there are tales that transcend time, serving as reminders of the indomitable spirit and unwavering courage of those who wear the uniform. One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

 WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
