Veteran’s Day Closure 2024

Kinetic Die Casting Company will be closed honoring America’s Heroes on Veterans Day November 11, 2024.
American Die Casting Company
Every year, Americans come together to honor the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is a solemn and patriotic occasion, dedicated to expressing gratitude, respect, and appreciation for the sacrifices made by our nation’s veterans. As we commemorate this important holiday, let’s reflect on the significance of Veterans Day and the profound impact of military service on our country.

Originally known as Armistice Day, Veterans Day traces its origins back to November 11, 1919, when the armistice ending World War I was signed. In the years that followed, the day became a time to honor the courage and sacrifice of all veterans who have served in the U.S. military. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially designated November 11th as Veterans Day, expanding its scope to include recognition of veterans from all wars and conflicts.

Veterans Day is a solemn reminder of the profound debt of gratitude owed to those who have served in the armed forces. From the battlefields of World War II to the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan, American veterans have demonstrated unwavering courage, dedication, and patriotism in defense of freedom and democracy. On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to their selfless service and sacrifice, honoring the countless men and women who have answered the call to duty and defended our nation’s values.
