Statistics

Highest driver of engagement according to worldwide study - feeling genuinely appreciated

Feeling appreciated is energizing and frees us to do our best work

Some veterans may feel that a simple “thank you for your service” carries as much meaning as a nod or “hello”

Important to thank veterans not just for their service but for their personal sacrifice
