Veterans in the Workplace

Every year on November 11, the United States honors those who have served in the Armed Forces. It is a day to show our gratitude and respect for those who have served in the military and to recognize their contributions to the nation’s security and freedom. Veteran’s Day, originally known as Armistice Day, is a federal holiday that was created to observe the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918.

• Dependability—commitment to mission, following rules, meeting deadlines, and high-quality results 
  
• Attention to Detail--observing, analyzing, and communicating details
