Cover Story: Thank You From All of Us at Veterans Advantage

Veterans Advantage founder Scott Higgins addresses Top Vets and Hero Vets at our special post-Veterans Day Parade luncheon.

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.

Cover Story: Women's History Month Wrapup

To honor Women’s History Month, we want to recognize the significant contributions women have made to the military over the last two centuries. Though women found ways to serve in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, it wasn’t until June 1948 that President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Service Integration Act, allowing women to receive regular permanent status in the armed forces. Today, women make up about 17% of the military and 9.4% of the veteran population.
