On Veterans Day, the Communications Workers of America honors the courageous and selfless service of our nation’s military, the men and women serving today in Iraq, Afghanistan and throughout the world, and the veterans who have fought for our freedom over the years.

Thousands of CWA active and retired members are among these brave veterans and military personnel, with service spanning from World War II, Korea and Vietnam to today’s conflicts. Hundreds of CWA members also are among those who continue to serve through the military reserves and the National Guard.
 
We owe these brave men and women so much. They put their lives on hold and literally on the line to defend our freedom.
 
Our nation must meet its commitment to our fighting forces and veterans by providing them with the best equipment and training, top quality medical benefits, educational opportunities and the care they and their families deserve. That’s the way a nation thanks and honors its soldiers.
 
CWA is so proud of our members who have served this nation. Please accept our thanks and gratitude on this Veterans Day, and always.
