A Veterans Day Message from SIG SAUER

November 11th, 2018

NEWINGTON, N.H., (November 11, 2018) – At SIG SAUER, our responsibility to the military and our Veterans is what drives us and gives us purpose.  A significant portion of the products we make are safeguarding those who serve, protect, and defend America, and that is a responsibility that makes us immensely proud.  The importance of the military and the noble cause of everyone that serves and has served underscores everything we do and every product we make – and we are truly thankful.

In honor of Veterans Day, SIG SAUER is honored to release the video feature, “Silence, Respect, Dignity, and Perseverance: The Story of the M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols.”

This is an in-depth look at the development, design, and presentation of the ceremonial M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols to the U.S. Army’s 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) including interviews with the Tomb Sentinels; Tim Butler, SIG SAUER Product Manager; and Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc.

Please take a moment to watch, and share, this truly special feature to reflect on the sacrifice of those that have served to keep us safe and free.

On Veterans Day, and every day, we honor those whom have served and sacrificed for the United States of America in the defense of freedom.

The 100th Anniversary of the End of the First World War

November 11th, 2018

The Armistice ending the First World War came into effect at 11 AM Paris time on 11 November 1918 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) after the allies and German powers came to an agreement at 5 AM.

While perhaps not to the same level as it was in 1918, this date is celebrated in numerous countries as Armistice or Remembrance Day. Here in the US, we observe Veteran’s Day, honoring our those who have served this great nation and the cause of liberty.

You will often notice the wearing of rememberance poppies which were inspired by the World War One-era poem, “In Flanders Field.” Although the practice was first seen in America, it is quite prevalent in the Commonwealth of Nations.

Today, I’d like to remember those young Americans who made their way in troop ships to stop aggression across the globe in the dawn of the 20th century. I’d also like to salute my fellow Veterans, they make for a very large family. May they stay safe, serve the cause of righteousness, and be ever victorious.
