⚓ Happy Birthday, United States Navy! ⚓

Today, Veterans Aid Network proudly joins the nation in celebrating the birthday of the United States Navy and the men and women who have served our country with honor, courage, and commitment.

Since 1775, Sailors have defended our freedoms, protected our nation's interests, and answered the call wherever duty has taken them. Their dedication and sacrifice have helped shape the strength and security of our nation.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all Navy Veterans, active-duty Sailors, Reservists, and their families for your service and commitment.

Please join us in recognizing and thanking the members of the U.S. Navy, past and present, for their invaluable contributions to our country.

⚓ Fair Winds and Following Seas.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This month, we honor the strength, courage, and resilience of those affected by breast cancer, including many Veterans, military spouses, surviving spouses, caregivers, family members, and friends in our community.

Breast cancer affects millions of individuals and families each year. Early detection through regular screenings and awareness of risk factors can make a significant difference.

At Veterans Aid Network, we encourage everyone to:
✅ Schedule recommended screenings
✅ Know your family health history
✅ Support loved ones undergoing treatment
✅ Celebrate survivors and remember those we have lost

Together, we can raise awareness, offer support, and help save lives.

💗 If you or a loved one needs assistance navigating available resources, our team is here to help.

Gold Star Mother’s and Family Day is a solemn observance honoring families who have lost loved ones in active-duty military service. It reflects the profound absence left at dinner tables once filled by those serving, symbolized by the transition from a blue star to a gold star on service flags. The tradition began during World War I, when Grace Darling Seibold, after losing her aviator son, formed the American Gold Star Mothers in 1928 to unite grieving mothers in mutual support. In 1936, Congress formalized the day, creating a national moment to honor the ultimate sacrifice of service members and the enduring resilience of their families.

The official Air Force Birthday is recognized as Sept. 18, 1947, the date of the passage of the National Security Act of 1947. That legislation created what would later come to be known as the United States Department of War (previously known as the Department of Defense). This established the United States Air Force as a separate branch of military service.

The 77th Air Force Day will be celebrated on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024.

Before the creation of the Air Force, the military’s flying operations were handled by the U.S. Army on land and the Navy by sea. The history of this branch of service is an important part of the history of air power in the United States.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day is a U.S. observance honoring prisoners of war and those still missing in action from all conflicts. It underscores the nation’s pledge to account for every unreturned service member, symbolized by the black-and-white POW/MIA flag bearing the words "You Are Not Forgotten." Established after families of Vietnam War POWs and MIAs organized advocacy efforts in the 1970s, it was first proclaimed in 1979 and set to the third Friday in September in 1986 to commemorate all wars equally.

Sept. 17th is the day when two important observances take place: Citizenship Day and Constitution Day. There is also Constitution Week which is observed the week of Sept. 17 – 23. The Library of Congress official site describes these observances as being created to both commemorate the signing of the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.” During this time, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services “encourages Americans to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.

Patriot Day is observed in the United States on September 11 to commemorate the lives of those who died in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Virginia and those who perished when the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. The holiday also recognizes those who died attempting to rescue people trapped by the attacks.

The resolution calls for the president of the United States to issue a yearly proclamation requesting that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff. Further, Americans are asked to honour the dead with a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 am, Eastern Standard Time, the time that the first airplane struck the World Trade Center, and to respect the ceremonies of remembrance when they are conducted.

The Marine Forces Reserve (also known as the United States Marine Corps Reserve or the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Reserve) was created in 1916, in conjunction with the creation of the Navy Reserve. Since then, the evolution of this force would expand from just thirty-five to today’s roughly 40,000 Marine Corps Reservists. The Marine Corps Reserve Birthday is observed every year on the 29th of August.

Marine Corps Reserve birthday will be celebrated on August 29.
