Global Holiday Awareness
At Current, we honor the unique holidays that connect and inspire us.
Veterans Day: United States – November 11th
This day is a profound reminder of the duty, honor, and sacrifice that are the hallmarks of military service. Thank you to our many colleagues who serve or have served in the military.
A Day of Reflection and Appreciation
The history of Veterans Day is closely tied to our nation’s history and gives Americans an opportunity to honor those who have made sacrifices to protect us. This Veterans Day, give more than thanks to veterans by:
- Volunteering at a local veteran’s center
- Watching a joint full honors procession and joint service flyover at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on November 11 via livestream
History
Did you know that Veterans Day was originally called “Armistice Day” to mark the end of World War I? The holiday was renamed in 1954 to honor all U.S. veterans, no matter when or where they served.
Quick Tips for Our Global Team:
- “Delay Delivery” is Your Friend – Let’s respect the holiday by timing emails to land the next business day.
- Plan Around OOO – Watch for those out-of-office replies if you’re working with U.S. colleagues.
- Send Thanks – Take a moment to show appreciation to our veterans.
