Saluting All Who Have Served This Veterans Day

Mila Adamovica |

Do you know why Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th? It originated as Armistice Day on 11.11.19, celebrating the end of World War I, and became a national holiday in 1938. President Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday to the Veterans Day in 1954. The meaning of the day has evolved into a tribute to all veterans who have served in the military during times of war or peace. According to the HISTORY® Channel, there are about 23.2 million military veterans in the United States. Let's pause on November 11th to remember their selfless service and courage.

Thankful for Our Veterans and Proud of Made-in-the-U.S.A. Products

Using high-quality safety products is essential to ensure a safe environment and save lives. A product’s country of origin is an important criterion for making a purchase decision. U.S.A.-made products have earned their right to be considered the highest quality products due to their reliable performance ensured by strict standards of safety product manufacturing.

Here are three excellent products, you can be glad to know are made in the U.S.A.:

The 3M N95 Disposable Respirator 8210V blocks 95% of all non-oil particle matter down to .03 microns from getting into the lungs. Providing the same protection as the 3M 8210 Respirator, the addition of a CoolFlow Exhalation Valve makes this disposable respirator both comfortable and effective.
