Honoring Service: A Veterans Day Reflection

Every November 11th, our country pauses as a nation to honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is more than a day off work or a sales event; it's a solemn reminder of the sacrifice, courage, and commitment that millions of Americans have demonstrated in service to our country. Tromba Technologies would like to express our thanks and our admiration for our veterans. 

The Meaning Behind the Day 

Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, President Eisenhower signed legislation changing the name to Veterans Day to honor all American veterans, not just those who died in service. 

Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died while serving, Veterans Day celebrates all who have served in the military, both living and deceased. It's a day to express our gratitude to the approximately 18 million veterans living in America today. 

A Commitment to Remember 

This Veterans Day, let's move beyond a single day of recognition. The men and women who served didn't just give a day; many gave years, and some gave everything. Our commitment to them should be equally enduring. Tromba Technologies would like to recognize your service and express our gratitude for your valor, effort, and life in serving the greater good.
