Partnership with Patriots Success: Record Giving, Ongoing Gratitude for Veterans In November, communities across America paid tribute to our U.S. Armed Forces veterans, including special Veterans Day commemorations and celebrations. Today, on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor 2,403 men and women who lost their lives on, as then President Franklin D.
