Kansas City real estate investor Scott Asner honors the sacrifices and resilience of veterans and military families on the occasion of National Veterans and Military Families Month.
LEAWOOD, Kan., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of National Veterans and Military Families Month, Scott Asner, Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, honors the courageous individuals and families who have sacrificed so much to protect and serve the United States.
"Veterans and military families embody the very best of America," Asner said. "Their sacrifices allow us the freedoms we too often take for granted. We owe them a debt of gratitude that cannot be overstated."
National Veterans and Military Families Month, observed every November, is an opportunity for all Americans to recognize and celebrate the commitment and sacrifices of those who serve and their families who support them.
For Asner, honoring this month is of the utmost importance. Working alongside veterans has reinforced his respect for their discipline, leadership, and adaptability – important qualities for any business or organization.
As of October 2024, the unemployment rate was lower for veterans than for non-veterans in the United States (3.0% versus 4.1%), according to the Department of Labor. In 2023, there were 8.63 million veterans in the civilian labor force, of whom 8.39 million were employed (an unemployment rate of 2.8%).
"These men and women have given us so much," Asner said. "They deserve not only our thanks, but also our unwavering support as they transition to civilian life and continue their journey. This month, let us honor their courage and sacrifice – and that of their families – by committing to stand by them, not just this month but at all times."
