In the spirit of Veterans Day, the Saint Paul Police Department took to social media to extend a heartfelt gratitude towards the service members who’ve dedicated themselves to the United States military. On a day set aside for reflection and appreciation, the department’s
Facebook post
centered on the dual roles of some of its employees—as both protectors of the community and as those who’ve served or continue to serve the nation.
The post showcased images of Saint Paul’s employees who are former and active military members, with a message reading, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice!” This expression, albeit a standard for the occasion, does encapsulate the collective sentiment towards individuals willing to set aside personal endeavors for the service of the country. Their service, overlapped by their roles in community policing, adds layers to their commitment—a commitment that shines through every Veterans Day.
Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11th, is a federal holiday in the United States dedicated specifically to honor military veterans, that is, people who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The Saint Paul Police Department’s recognition of its servicemen and women is a microcosm of the numerous acknowledgments and celebrations that take place across the nation. From parades to solemn ceremonies, the day is marked by both public and private gestures of thanks.
In commemorating this day, the

joins a chorus of institutions, corporate entities, and civic organizations that pause to reflect on the bravery and selflessness of those who’ve donned the military uniform. Their salute, through the snapshots shared, not only memorializes the faces of these service members but also serves as a reminder of the diverse roles they play within our communities. It’s a moment that necessarily calls for recognition and perhaps, even more importantly, an understanding of the ongoing support veterans need upon returning to civilian life.
The recognition resonates with many in the community who either know or are the very individuals who have answered the call of duty. As the day comes to a close, and the digital realm quiets from the day’s salutes and tributes, the

Indeed, for those who’ve served, every day bears the indelible mark of their service—and on Veterans Day, we make it a point to remember and say, once again, “Thank you.”
