Veterans Day 2022

11/08/2022

Veteran’s Day is a day of observance, designed to celebrate and honor America’s veterans. November 11th, 1918 is remembered as the end of ‘the war to end all wars’, as hostilities between Germany and the Allied Nations of World War I ceased.

The date was first federally recognized in 1919 when President Wilson declared November 11th as Armistice Day. However, the date wasn’t a legal Holiday until 1938, the same year in which the name changed to Veterans Day to honor the veterans of all wars in lieu of only those from World War I.

In the United States, Veteran’s Day is observed on November 11th, no matter which day of the week it falls.

Currently, there are more than a half million veterans working in the construction industry. The extraordinary qualities they develop and foster in the military tie seamlessly into the qualities we look for in the construction industry. Discipline, teamwork, loyalty and adaptability are just a few of these qualities and that is why we are so proud to employ several veterans on our team.

Today, we tip our hard hat to our veterans. Past, present and future: thank you for your service.
