Today is Veterans Day—a time to honor those who have served, sacrificed, and dedicated their lives for our country and our freedom. It is disheartening, however, that many companies don’t formally recognize or celebrate this day. Given that U.S. organizations (and beyond) benefit from the security and liberties protected by our veterans, acknowledging this day isn’t just symbolic; it’s a demonstration of respect, gratitude, and unity. One day… That’s all we ask to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and service of our military veterans. For many organizations, observing Veterans Day as a day off isn’t standard practice, but it should be. This isn’t about shutting down operations for the sake of it—it’s about recognizing the contributions of those who served, giving employees time to reflect, and demonstrating real gratitude as a community. To those companies that take the day to honor our veterans, thank you. For those who don’t, let’s remember: it’s not just a holiday; it’s a chance to show respect to the men and women who’ve given so much to protect our way of life. Most importantly: To all veterans—thank you for your service past and present. You truly define the ethos of what makes America great! #America #Veterans #Unity

This Veterans Day, we reflect on the significance of saying, "Thank you for your service," a phrase that has become a symbol of gratitude towards our armed forces since the late 1990s. While its origins remain somewhat unclear, it stands as a collective acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by military personnel. The impact of this expression varies among veterans, with some finding it meaningful while others believe it falls short of capturing the full extent of their experiences. Recognizing the complexity of gratitude is crucial, as it can resonate differently with each individual. To truly honor our veterans, we should seek more personalized ways to show appreciation. Engaging in heartfelt conversations, actively listening to their stories, and supporting veteran initiatives create deeper connections and understanding. These actions go beyond mere words, offering genuine recognition of their service and sacrifices. This Veterans Day, let's go beyond the conventional and strive to honor our veterans in ways that deeply resonate with them. Let's cultivate a culture of respect and appreciation that transcends mere phrases, embodying our genuine gratitude and support for those who have served. #VeteransDay #ThankYouForYourService #HonorOurHeroes #SupportOurVeterans #Gratitude #MilitaryService #SacrificeAndService #VeteranAppreciation #RememberAndHonor #UnitedWeStand

On Veterans Day, we reflect on a profound truth: service comes in many forms, but military service stands apart. They say a Veteran is someone who once handed their country a blank check, payable with their very life. This isn't just a powerful metaphor - it's the reality of military service. Every man and woman who puts on the uniform makes this extraordinary commitment, whether serving four years or thirty, in times of peace or war. What makes this service unique? It's the absolute nature of their commitment. Veterans don't choose their assignments or set their terms. They go where needed, serve who needs them, and sacrifice without question. They put aside careers, leave families behind, and suspend personal dreams for a greater purpose. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) While we call them heroes, many Veterans humbly point to their fallen comrades as the true heroes - those who paid the ultimate price. Yet today, we honor all who served, because each one embodied the same spirit of selfless dedication. At Serve Funding, their example of service inspires our own mission to serve our clients and partners. This Veterans Day, we encourage you to not only thank a Veteran but to follow their example: set aside your own agenda and find a way to serve someone in need. - Michael Kodinsky #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2024 #HereToServe #Sacrifice #ServantLeadership

Veterans Day: A Time for Respect, Not Judgment On Veterans Day, many Veterans find themselves feeling a mix of pride and discomfort. While the day is meant to honor those who served, not everyone feels respected or appreciated for their service. Society’s views on veterans can be complicated—ranging from genuine gratitude to indifference, and at times, outright judgment. Regardless of political affiliation, Veterans Day should be a time to come together and honor the sacrifices made by our military community. Service members come from all backgrounds and beliefs, united in a commitment to protect our nation. To my fellow veterans: Don’t be ashamed of your service. We know the courage and dedication it took to wear the uniform. Veterans Day is a reminder of our resilience and unity, no matter how society chooses to view us. Let’s honor each other with respect and pride, even if it doesn’t always come from outside. To everyone else, consider that respect and empathy go a long way. Veterans are more than their military roles—each has a unique story shaped by service, sacrifice, and an unwavering dedication to the values of our country.

3 simple ways you can honor a veteran this Monday, on Veterans Day. 🇺🇸 🪖Veterans Day (Nov 11) is a time to recognize all U.S. military veterans—living or deceased—for their service. 🎖️While Memorial Day (last Monday in May) specifically honors those who died in service. This Monday, I encourage you to do 3 simple things to show your gratitude: 1. Recognize Acknowledge their service with a simple, heartfelt “Thank you for your service.” It goes a long way. 2. Inquire Show genuine interest by asking questions like, “What branch did you serve in?” or “What was your role?” People appreciate when others take the time to ask about their experience. 3. Listen This is the most important part. Give them the space and time to share their story, and really listen. If they want to talk, be there for them. Ask follow-up questions like, “What was one of your most memorable moments?” If a veteran is reluctant to share, that’s okay too—simply thank them for their service and respect their space. These small gestures can make a big impact. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope these tips help you connect with and honor the veterans in your life.
