We’re happy to announce that Electric Boat will continue our normal, longstanding tradition this year with in-person Veterans Day observances. On Wednesday, November 10, there will be three 15-minute ceremonies held for first, second and third-shift employees outside by the main gate flag pole in Groton.
As in previous years, employees who attend one of the observances will receive a 2021 Veterans Day commemorative pin.
While we gather together to honor our service members past and present, please make your best effort to maintain a social distance of at least six feet from your colleagues. If you are a current or past member of the armed services, feel free to wear a commemorative hat, shirt or pin to work; be proud for putting the cause of freedom and needs of others before yourself. And as always, if you encounter a veteran, please thank them for their service and for giving us the opportunity to live in freedom.
Please see below for the schedule of events:
