Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day at Perfection Spring & Stamping Corp.
Recognizing Those Who Have Served Our Country and Our CompanyThe History behind Veterans Day
“The Great War,” now known as World War I, officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. However, the armistice that brought an end to the active fighting between Allied forces and Germany had already taken effect months earlier—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month: November 11, 1918.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as Armistice Day—a day of solemn remembrance for the sacrifices made during World War I. Following World War II and the Korean War, the day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all American veterans, past and present.
Recognizing Our Veterans at Perfection Spring & Stamping
As Veterans Day approaches, Perfection Spring & Stamping Corp. proudly pauses to honor and express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, discipline, and commitment to service embody the values we hold dear—not only as a nation but as a company.
We are especially proud to have several of these exceptional individuals on our own team. Their experience and character enrich our workplace and inspire us all.
One such team member is Ron Anderson, our Quality Assurance Manager. After graduating high school in 1973, Ron enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Over six years—two years of active duty, two years in active reserves, and two years in inactive reserve—Ron served his country with distinction. Stationed on the West Coast, he worked as a mechanic, maintaining a wide range of military vehicles including tanks, jeeps, and trucks. His early mechanical experience at his grandfather’s service station laid the foundation for the vital role he played in keeping military operations running smoothly.
Ron is just one of many veterans who have brought their dedication and expertise to Perfection over the years. We currently employ four veterans, proudly continuing a legacy that began with our founder, Louis Kahn, a WWII veteran of the U.S. Navy and a Korean War veteran of the U.S. Army Reserves. In total, at least 16 veterans from every branch of service have been a part of the Perfection family.
These individuals bring with them a deep respect for structure, the resilience to face challenges head-on, and a sense of duty that elevates everyone around them. We are honored to work alongside them—and better for it.
Thank You to All Who Served
This November 11, we invite everyone to take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary sacrifices made by our veterans—past, present, and future. To our own veteran employees and to all who have served: thank you for your service, your dedication, and the values you bring to our lives and our workplace.
We are deeply grateful—and extremely proud—to call you part of the Perfection team.
