“On Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served — past and present — in every branch of the United States Armed Forces.”
Thank you for your service
Need restoration help in Southwest Florida right now? WrightWay is on site in under 2 hours from three Florida offices, and we answer with a live human.
To every veteran in Southwest Florida and across the country: today is yours.
Whether you served one tour or thirty years, in peacetime or in combat, in uniform or in a support role — your service shaped the country in ways most civilians will never fully understand. Today is the day we say thank you out loud.
Florida’s veteran community is huge
Florida is home to over 1.4 million veterans — the third-largest veteran population in the country. Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties alone are home to tens of thousands of retired and active service members. MacDill Air Force Base and the surrounding Tampa Bay military community are central to who this region is.
Every branch is represented here:
- Army veterans, including a strong contingent of Vietnam-era and Gulf War veterans
- Navy sailors and submariners
- Air Force pilots, ground crew, intelligence, and cyber
- Marines from every conflict back to Korea
- Coast Guard personnel — particularly relevant in Florida’s coastal communities
- Space Force Guardians, the newest branch
- National Guard and Reserves — the citizen-soldiers who hold full-time civilian jobs and still drop everything when called
To the veterans on the WrightWay team
WrightWay is honored to count veterans among our crews, our project managers, our office team, and our leadership. The work ethic, judgment under pressure, and team mindset that the military instills — we see it on every job site, every day.
To every veteran on the WrightWay team: thank you for your service then, and thank you for what you bring to this company now. We are proud to work alongside you.
To Vietnam veterans specifically
Vietnam-era veterans came home to a country that, for many years, did not say thank you. That was wrong. We say it today, clearly: thank you, and welcome home.
To veterans struggling today
Veterans Day is hard for some who served. If you are a veteran in crisis or struggling with PTSD, depression, substance use, homelessness, or anything else, please reach out:
