SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- This Veterans Day, we pause to give thanks to the brave men and women who have honorably served in the defense of our great nation. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day in 1926 by Act of Congress to honor veterans of World War I.
In 1954, congress officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and Coast Guardsmen who have served our nation throughout her history.
From the Revolutionary War to the host of far-flung contingency, humanitarian and peacekeeping operations underway today, our great traditions of dedication to duty and defense of our Constitution are assured by a force that honors all who have served.
The men and women of U.S. Transportation Command and her component commands -- Air Mobility Command, Military Sealift Command, and Military Traffic Management Command -- epitomize the core values which have made our nation's veterans great: patriotism, dedication to duty, and an absolute commitment to freedom.
I am proud to acknowledge our veterans on this day. We continue to be inspired by your example of selfless service and thankful for your tremendous dedication and sacrifice.
