Veterans Day Message from Ames Service Members Career Enhancement & Development ERG (ASCEND):
We honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of our nation’s veterans. Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the service of those who have worn the uniform—and to thank them for their selflessness in defending the freedoms we all enjoy.
To our veteran colleagues and their families: we see you, we appreciate you, and we are grateful for the strength and perspective you bring to Ames. Your continued commitment—both in service and now at Ames—makes a lasting impact.
ASCEND is proud to support our veteran community, active-duty service members, reservists, military spouses, and allies. If you’re looking for a place to connect, support one another, and help drive positive change within Ames, we invite you to join us. You don’t need to be a veteran to get involved—everyone who supports our mission is welcome.

We also want to recognize and thank the members of ASCEND. Your commitment to supporting our military-connected community, raising awareness, and creating a space for connection is truly appreciated.
