Today is Veteran’s Day, which is a celebration first commemorating the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when an armistice brought an end to World War I. In 1954, Congress mandated the holiday honor all veterans. Veteran’s Day, a federal holiday, celebrates the service members who survived their experiences in war. For the second year in a row on this blog, the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), on behalf of its members, staff, and board of directors, would like to pay tribute to all those who have served their Nation, in peace and in war.

Once again, we would like to pause on this day to think about what we do and who we do it for, and move forward with absolute clarity and resolve that we must never falter in our efforts to be ever more effective, efficient, accurate, and timely in the delivery of GEOINT to those whose lives depend on it, and in honor of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.
