Veteran’s Day provides us all an opportunity to honor and appreciate the sacrifices and selflessness of the men and women who serve and served in the American armed forces. It is a day for each of us to reflect and show our gratitude to those who have given of themselves to defend our nation’s independence, and through them our freedom as Americans. We want to especially thank our team members at IGNITE that are active and veteran service members. We asked some of our military team members to share what inspires them. Luis Serrano from our corporate team said, “"Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul." This quote from Michel de Montaigne reflects on the deep courage and inner strength that veterans embody.” Jesse Thomas, an Assistant Regional Manager in Connecticut shared his favorite military quote by Jocko Willink that he applies each day at IGNITE, "There can be no leadership where there is no team”. In honor of Veterans Day, we encourage you to take a moment – today, tomorrow or next week – to thank a service member for his or her dedicated service to our community, state, and nation. To Luis, Jesse and all of our IGNITE Veteran team members, you have made remarkable contributions to our nation, and we are proud that you are part of the IGNITE family, thank you!

Thanks and Blessings to all those who have bravely served in our U.S. Armed Forces. We are free because of you! Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces (who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable).[1][2] It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are commemorated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I.[3] Major hostilities of World War I formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day at the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations in 1954.[4] Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May. Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who have died while in military service.[5] Another military holiday in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women's Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.
