Join us on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 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. 2026 Veterans Day commemorative pins will be available for those in attendance.
If you are unable to attend one of the above observances in person, you can tune into the first-shift observance via livestream, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. on November 10. 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.
