As we approach Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, we want to recognize and honor the ongoing sacrifices and contributions of thousands of soldiers who are far from their loved ones. On November 8, we’ll observe R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed) Day by wearing red as a sign of our gratitude and respect. We encourage everyone in our community to wear something red on Friday, November 8, to support those deployed and their families at home. For those in uniform, RED bracelets will be available at morning muster.

Veterans Day is a day to honor American veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. We invite you to celebrate with us as we honor all those in our MMA community who have served our country. Our veterans are the everyday heroes who are our classmates, colleagues, family members, and friends. To our veterans: thank you. Your devotion to duty, defense of freedom, and service to our nation inspire us today and every day. We are proud to stand alongside you as Mariners.

There are two career fairs each year held in October and March respectively.
