By Brian Pitman, Independence Title’s CEO/Co-Founder
At Independence Title, we understand the importance of our work. Every day we facilitate real estate transactions, protect property owners’ interests, and maintain records that will serve future generations. It is an important business; we take the job seriously and have tremendous respect for the employees who help us make that happen each day. Yet, as important as our work may be, we recognize that it cannot compare to the sacrifices made by our men and women who have served in our nation’s military.
On this Veterans Day, we honor a very special group of men and women who answered the call to serve. They willingly set aside many of the comforts and freedoms most of us enjoy every day to defend our country and protect our way of life. Some veterans returned home carrying visible and/or invisible scars from their service. Others never had the opportunity to come home at all. Today we remember those we have lost, honor the memories they left behind, and extend our deepest gratitude for the sacrifices they made on behalf of us all.
We also recognize the families who serve alongside them. The spouses, parents, children, siblings, loved ones, and friends of those in uniform make sacrifices that often go unseen. The cost of sharing a loved one with an entire nation and sometimes an entire world cannot be measured, and their strength, resilience, and support deserve our sincere appreciation.
To the employees of Independence Title who have served in our Armed Forces, thank you. Your commitment to duty, service, and country inspires us and reminds us of the values that unite us as Americans.
To the employees of Independence Title who have family members serving or who have served, thank you as well. We recognize the pride, worry, patience, and sacrifice that military families experience, and we honor your connection to those who have answered our nation’s call.
From all of us at Independence Title, we extend our deepest respect, gratitude, and remembrance this Veterans Day. We honor those who have served, continue to serve, and the families who support them and make that service possible.
