Every year on July 25, National Hire a Veteran Day serves as an important reminder that the skills veterans develop during military service are exactly what many employers are looking for.

For employers, National Hire a Veteran Day is an opportunity to strengthen their workforce by recruiting highly qualified professionals who are ready to make an immediate impact. Veterans often possess specialized technical training, security clearances, project management experience, and a commitment to excellence that translates seamlessly into civilian careers. Organizations that actively recruit veterans also benefit from increased employee retention, stronger workplace leadership, and diverse perspectives that help drive innovation.

Below is a link to the top Veteran employers list that recognizes organizations that go above and beyond in their commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, and supporting veterans in the workplace.

Hello All!

Just a quick reminder of tomorrow breakfast. We will be honoring the Purple Heart recipients for their courage, sacrifice and service.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of a dear friend and a true hero, Leslie (Les) DiGregorio.

Les served our country with honor during the Vietnam War and was awarded a Bronze Star for his service. Beyond his service, he was a member of the Somerville DAV, and served on the board of George Dilboy VFW Post 529. Les was also a dedicated member of the Council on Aging and community. He was loved by so many, including this department.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for the laughs, the stories, and the unwavering friendship. You will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Les. 🇺🇸

Purple Heart Day is observed every year on August 7 to honor the brave service members who were wounded or killed in combat while defending our nation. It’s a day to pause, reflect, and recognize the extraordinary sacrifice behind this medal—one that represents courage, resilience, and devotion to country.

If you know a Purple Heart recipient, we kindly ask that you refer them to our Veterans Department. We would love to honor them at our next veterans breakfast.

Thank you & please share!
