On this Veterans Day, the Metal Trades Department, AFL-CIO proudly salutes the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to the ideals of freedom and democracy embody the very best of America.
We are especially proud that so many of our Metal Trades members are Veterans—individuals who, after serving their country in uniform, continue to serve every day as public servants, federal and private sector workers, and skilled tradespeople. Whether maintaining our naval shipyards, ensuring the safety of our nuclear facilities, or keeping our nation’s critical infrastructure strong, these Veterans remain on the front lines of America’s security and prosperity.
This Veterans Day, we honor their service, their families’ sacrifices, and their continued commitment to strengthening our nation through their work. The Metal Trades Department stands with America’s Veterans—today and every day.
