Adopted through a congressional resolution in 1926, Veteran’s Day is of both patriotic and historic significance. This important day honors veterans of all wars and is observed on November 11th, the anniversary of the armistice of World War I. 

In honor of Veteran’s Day, WTS Philadelphia honors U.S. Air Force Veteran and Sponsor Recognition Chair, Kristen Weber. Kristen is number 40 of our 45 women for our 45th! Thank you, Kristen, for your service to our nation.
