Kinetic Die Casting Company is a Veteran Owned Manufacturing Company. On November 11, 2025, the United States pauses to observe Veterans Day—a solemn yet proud tribute to the more than 18 million living veterans who have worn the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces. Originally born from the ashes of World War I as Armistice Day, this federal holiday commemorates the ceasefire that ended “the war to end all wars” at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower expanded its scope, renaming it Veterans Day to honor all who have served in wartime and peacetime alike.
Unlike Memorial Day, which remembers those who died in service, Veterans Day celebrates the living legacy of veterans—from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, from the skies over Korea to the deserts of Iraq. It is a day to say thank you to the men and women whose courage, discipline, and sacrifice have safeguarded freedom for generations.
A Nation's Gratitude in Action
Across America, Veterans Day 2025 will be marked by:
Parades in cities like New York, Chicago, and San Antonio
Wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and local memorials
Moments of silence at 11:00 a.m.
Free meals and discounts for veterans at restaurants and retailers
School programs teaching children the meaning of service
The Department of Veterans Affairs and organizations like the VFW, American Legion, and Wounded Warrior Project lead nationwide efforts to support veterans with healthcare, mental health resources, job training, and housing assistance.
The Veteran Experience: Then and Now
Today's veterans reflect a diverse tapestry:
World War II and Korean War veterans—now in their 90s and 100s—represent a fading but heroic generation.
Vietnam veterans continue to heal from a war that divided a nation.
Post-9/11 veterans—over 4 million strong—carry the weight of two decades of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Many face invisible wounds: PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and challenges reintegrating into civilian life. Yet, their resilience shines through in classrooms, boardrooms, and communities nationwide.
How to Honor Veterans This Year
Say thank you—a simple, sincere acknowledgment goes far.
Listen—ask a veteran to share their story.
Support veteran-owned businesses and hire veterans.
Volunteer with local VA hospitals or veteran service organizations.
Attend a ceremony or watch the National Veterans Day Observance in Washington, D.C.
A Call to Remember
As President John F. Kennedy once said:
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
This Veterans Day, let us renew our commitment—not just with parades and platitudes, but with action, advocacy, and unwavering respect for those who answered the call.
Kinetic Die Casting Company is a Veteran Owned Company with veterans working at our company. To every veteran from every veteran employed at Kinetic Die Casting Company: We stand with you. Your service was our shield. Your sacrifice, our strength. Thank you.
