Honoring the Women and Men Who Wore the Uniform
Wednesday, November 11, 2026, is Veterans Day, a federal holiday in the United States. National, state, and local government offices will be closed in commemoration. Most businesses will be open.
We mark this day in thankgiving for all who wore the uniform in defense of American freedom. The American clothing and textile industry, operating here in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, also does its part in outfitting those warfighters. Readers of this blog likely know that the Berry Amendment requires that all Department of War acquisitions of clothing, footwear, and textile articles such as parachutes and tents must be 100% American made.
