Honoring President Jimmy Carter
President Jimmy Carter, our nation’s 39th president, passed away on December 29, 2024. President Carter’s career in public service began in 1943 as a cadet at the United States Naval Academy, continuing as an officer in the Navy’s elite nuclear submarine program, and progressed into politics. He leaves behind a legacy of passion for public service, human rights, peace, and care for the oppressed. We honored President Carter with a National Day of Mourning on January 9, 2025, including flags flown at half-staff.
As we remember President Carter, we will continue to serve Veterans to honor this Navy Veteran, as he would have encouraged.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2025
Although many people know Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his famous “I have a dream speech,” he has countless other speeches and quotes that also demonstrate his commitment to challenging social injustices. As we approach another year of honoring and celebrating Dr. King on MLK Day, we hope that you find some words or actions that also inspire you beyond his most famous speech. Additionally, we hope that you seek out ways to serve your community to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
