This #flashbackfriday has us visiting the Liberty Memorial Bridge in Bismarck, North Dakota. Built in 1922, the original bridge was one of the final links in the transcontinental highway (later called the National Parks Highway). That bridge was the first permanent crossing of the Missouri River in North Dakota. It was christened the Liberty Memorial Bridge in honor of World War I soldiers from North Dakota. In 2006, Lunda Construction was awarded the contract to replace the original bridge. The new bridge, completed in 2009, is 2,369 feet long, with a main span of 1,658 feet across the water. The replacement bridge continues to honor veterans, recognizing all branches of the military, and those who serve our country, with a design incorporating five overlooks, and two plazas as a tribute to military veterans. #fbf #infrastructure #bridges #bridgeconstruction #lundaconstruction #lunda

The Anthem Veterans Memorial is located in Anthem, Arizona. This breathtaking monument is a place of reflection for military veterans, family, and friends to show their respect for those servicemen and women who bravely and fearlessly served our great country. • The five pillars represent the unity of the five branches of the United States military serving steadfastly together. • Staggered in size with their appropriate military seal placements on each pillar, the pillars are arranged in the Department of Defense order of precedence. • At precisely 11:11 a.m. each Veterans Day (Nov. 11), the sun's rays pass through the ellipses of the five Armed Services pillars to form a solar spotlight on the glass mosaic of The Great Seal of the United States. • The brick pavers within the Circle of Honor are inscribed with the names of U.S. servicemen and women, symbolizing the 'support' for the Armed Forces. The pavers are red, the pillars are white, and the sky is blue to represent America's flag. • The circle, flanked by two "Soldier Rows," represents an unbreakable border.

I'm calling on my network to support a highly personal and crucial piece of legislation that impacts the lives of our combat-injured veterans: the Major Richard Star Act (S. 344). This act, with over two-thirds of Congress backing it, aims to correct an injustice faced by many of our heroes who have sacrificed so much for our nation. The current system unjustly reduces retired pay dollar-for-dollar by the amount of disability compensation received. Retired pay is earned through years of dedicated service, while disability compensation addresses lifelong injuries. These benefits, established by Congress for entirely different reasons, should not be offset against each other. As Lt. Col. Mark Belinsky, USA (Ret), MOAA's director of Government Relations for Currently Serving and Retired Affairs, said, “Saving money on the backs of our combat-injured is a problem Congress can fix this year.” It's time for our leaders to take action. Let's urge Congress to include the Major Richard Star Act in the FY 2025 NDAA. Our combat-injured veterans deserve better. Please join me in supporting this vital legislation and ensuring that our heroes receive the benefits they rightfully earned without unjust offsets. #Veterans #SupportOurTroops #MajorRichardStarAct #NDAA #MilitaryFamily #VeteranAdvocacy https://lnkd.in/e7gvpB3Q
Join us in our work to help combat injured veterans at moaa.org/staract Along with The Military Coalition, Mark Belinsky, MSA, Levi Sadr, Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA), Matthew Schwartzman, Reserve Organization of America (ROA), and many more worked hard on the Hill yesterday to support the Richard Star Act.

Purchasing this challenge coin is a direct way to support our mission to find homeless veterans. As our Founder said, "when you hear about 'the cracks in the system', they mean the distance between where that veteran is on the street and the system they have given up on, or has given up on them." Our team fills those cracks and our entire outreach mission, though we help everybody that we find, is geared towards finding our veterans. Your support helps us continue our efforts. Show that you took the challenge and helped our homeless veterans! https://lnkd.in/erghzYV #vets #veterans #marines #usmc #army #navy #airforce #coastguard #military #brotherhood #suicideprevention #codeofvets #veterans #supportourveterans #veteransupport #usveterans #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransuicideawareness #veteransusa #veteransadministration #veteransforveterans #nobodyshouldfreezetodeathinamerica

This Memorial Day we recognize and honor the sacrifice of our service members. We remember those we lost and are grateful to every soul who fought for our country. Thank you to our American soldiers, veterans, military, and service workers. May God strengthen those still in the field and may there be a safe trip home. Eureka Wealth Solutions will be pausing today to reflect and remember, full of gratitude; for many among us have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be free. We are the United States of America because of the bravery of those who have stood strong on the front lines. #ImpactInvesting #investments #wealthmanagement #financialplanning

It's Veterans Day! It's a tribute to military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Because November is National Military Families Month, let’s start the month by giving a shout-out to all the military families across the USA. As a former Marine, I know the challenging demands that a military lifestyle puts upon our families. In many ways, we owe them as much gratitude as those serving in uniform. THANK YOU! #militaryfamilymonth #military #support #thankyou #4pc #scalingup #executivecoach #businesscoach @ScalingUpCoaches
