National Day of the Deployed
Today, on National Day of the Deployed, we honor the brave men and women serving our country far from home. To all active-duty service members deployed around the world and the families supporting them from back home, thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice. We see you, and we appreciate you!
The day was founded in 2006 by Shelle Michaels Aberle. She chose October 26 in honor of the birthday of her cousin, U.S. Army Lt. Col. David Hosna, who was deployed in Iraq at the time. North Dakota was the first state to officially recognize it before all 50 states and the federal government joined in honoring the day.
Once a Veteran, Always a Veteran.
