Join us on Friday, November 8, 2024, for Electric Boat’s annual Veterans Day observances, as we gather together to honor our service members past and present. There will be ceremonies held for first-, second- and third-shift employees in Groton and Quonset Point. 2024 Veterans Day commemorative pins will be available for those in attendance.
If you are unable to attend any of the below observances in person, you can tune into Groton’s first-shift observance* via livestream, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. on November 8. A banner with the livestream link will be posted to Homeport before the start of this observance.
If you are a current or past member of the armed services, please 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. If you encounter a veteran, please thank them for their service.
