Hi everyone,
As we approach Veterans Day, we wanted to take a moment to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. There are several employees in the workforce who are veterans, and we want to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice.
We are proud of our veterans, and we want to thank you for your dedication and commitment to our country. Your service has helped to protect our freedoms and way of life, and we are grateful for your sacrifices.
We wanted to highlight a specific employee who is on our very own {{company_name}} team, {{first_name}}. Thank you for your service.
We encourage all employees to take a moment on Veterans Day to thank veterans for their service, whether it's a colleague or someone in your personal life. [We will have a lunch picnic from 12-2pm on Friday to honor these veteran's and valuable team members. This will be added to your Calendars today.]
We are committed to creating a workplace culture that values and respects our veterans, and we will continue to support them in any way we can.
Thank you to all of our veterans for their service and sacrifice. We are honored to have you as part of our team!
Thank you,
People Team

Hi [MANAGER NAME], Veterans Day (November 11) is coming up in about two weeks. This is a good opportunity to show some employee appreciation.
We recommend confirming with team members that they are OK with public recognition first. Here's a copy you can use to reach out to those you intend on acknowledging publicly:
“Hi [DIRECT REPORT], Veterans Day (November 11th) is coming up in about two weeks. It is a Federal Holiday in the U.S. and our office will be closed. Wanted to send you a reminder, so you can plan accordingly and make the most of this holiday.
We'd also like to thank and commemorate our Veterans at the company. Please reach out if you'd like to opt out of any public recognition, and we will respect your privacy.”
How to honor Veterans Day at the workplace
Recognizing veterans in the workplace is an important way to show appreciation for their service to our country and the unique skills and experiences they bring to the workforce. Veterans have often developed strong leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills through their military service, making them valuable assets to any organization.
Veterans Day is a special day to honor and show appreciation for the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. Observing Veterans Day in the workplace is a great way to promote a culture of respect, gratitude, and inclusiveness. It's important to remember and honor the sacrifices that veterans have made for our country, and to show our support and appreciation for them in any way we can.
Here are a few ways to observe Veterans Day in the workplace:
1. Highlight Veterans in the workforce with public recogntion through social media or internal announcements. Keep in mind that this form of recognition may not appeal to everyone on the team so be sure to not put the spotlight on team members who would feel uncomfortable.
2. Display the American flag or a banner in the office to show support for veterans.
3. Invite veterans in the workplace to share their stories and experiences with their colleagues, creating an opportunity for others to learn and show appreciation.
4. Encourage employees to wear red, white, and blue or other patriotic colors to show their support for veterans.
5. Organize a charity event or fundraiser for a veteran-related cause, such as the Wounded Warrior Project or the Veterans Affairs Hospital.
6. Provide paid time off or flexible scheduling for employees who are veterans to attend Veterans Day events or observe the holiday in their own way.
