During Military Appreciation Month, Santander colleagues across the US engaged in meaningful acts to honor our veterans. From military museum clean-up to home building for veterans in need, we’ve worked to ensure our heroes’ sacrifices are never forgotten. We also planted flags and displayed Missing Man Table exhibits, allowing us to pay homage to those who’ve fallen. Our commitment to honoring our veterans extended beyond these initial gestures through ship tours and a panel discussion featuring Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Jack Jacobs, providing us with invaluable insights into the lives of those who served. As we move forward, let’s continue to show our gratitude, offer support, and keep the stories of our veterans alive. They served for us; let’s continue to serve them in memory and action.

DO YOU KNOW the difference between certain patriotic holidays? For example, what is the difference between Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day? These three holidays should not be confused. Memorial Day is a federal holiday that remembers and mourns people who have died in U.S. military service. Veterans Day, also a federal holiday, honors the service of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. Armed Forces Day, meanwhile, celebrates everyone currently serving in the U.S. armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Armed Forces Day is not an official federal holiday. #Wagnerrealty #armedforcesday2024 #militaryservice #armedforces

Today is Veterans Day, a federal holiday in the US observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the US Armed Forces. This day marks the anniversary of the end of World War I when hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. Things to Know about Veterans Day: -It is spelled Veterans Day (without the apostrophe, so NOT Veteran's Day and NOT Veterans' Day). The US Department of Veterans Affairs states that the attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive case is the official spelling, "...because it is not a day that 'belongs' to veterans, it is a day for honoring all veterans." -Legally, two minutes of silence is recommended to be observed at 2:11pm Eastern Standard Time on Veterans Day. What to say to honor veterans: -Thank you for your service. -Thank you for putting your life on hold to serve our country. -Thank you for the sacrifices you made being away from your family. -Thank you for protecting us. #veteransday #thankyouforyourservice #armistice #1111

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.
