Thanks to our Veterans

The Veterans Day ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery and begins precisely at 11:00 a.m. with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
The ceremony continues inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries. The ceremony is intended to honor and thank all who served in the United States Armed Forces.

We have a number of veterans working in IPS. Today we honor them and all the veterans who have made sacrifices to keep our country free. This year the inaugural class of the IPS Leadership Academy is conducting a service project, Horses for Heroes, to honor veterans. Check with a class member for more information.
