Veterans Day reminds America to honor those serving and those who have served, which includes helping the men and women of the military transition to the nation's workforce.

This Veterans Day comes as the country prepares for change, to usher in President-elect Donald Trump in January, but the message for those who served our country remains unchanged. "We’re asking folks at 11 a.m. ET on Veterans Day to reach out, whether you reach out by phone or reach out personally, and just connect with a veteran in your network. Building that community is so important," USAA CEO Wayne Peacock told FOX Business.

the leading financial services firm serving 13.5 million members of the U.S. military and veterans, will also match up to $1 million in November. Another way to support veterans is to hire these men and women after their military careers. "Less than 20% of folks who leave the military actually retire. So, they're leaving, and then they've got a huge transition to make," Peacock said while encouraging corporate America to do more.

Veterans come with a sense of purpose. They come with hard work. They come with a desire to improve every day. They bring incredible leadership skills to the table. And you can teach them because they have been trained to be in a learning environment throughout their entire career. I think we've made a lot of progress. I think there is more work to be done," he said.
