Veterans at MIL


         We’re lucky to have veterans among us, and November is the perfect time to honor the
         incredible skills and experiences they bring from their time in the military. Whether it’s
         leadership, teamwork, problem-solving under pressure, or simply the ability to stay calm and
         collected no matter what—our veteran colleagues have mastered it all. Their talents enrich our
         team in ways that go beyond the typical workplace experience, and we want to take a moment
         to say thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do!

         To all our veteran employees, we appreciate your service, your dedication, and the unique
         strengths you bring to our team. You’re a key part of what makes this workplace extraordinary!

         Let’s dive into November with gratitude, excitement, and maybe even a little extra celebration
         for our veterans!
