ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The depot employs 785 Veterans who have served through decades of war and peace in each of the different branches of service.

This year, to honor those who have served, the Public Affairs Office requested volunteers who would be willing to be photographed for TRACKS and The Morning Show. All 54 of those who volunteered were shown in a slideshow on the Nov. 6 Morning Show and can be viewed on the depot's Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/101336510@N02.

Here is a small sample of the members of our workforce who have served or currently serve in the U.S. military.

Remember these and the millions of other servicemen and women Monday as we celebrate Veterans Day.

Men make up a whopping 92.6 percent of the depot's Veterans.

Among the workforce are Soldiers who served in Vietnam and every American military conflict since, Marines who fought throughout the Middle East, Sailors who were in the European theater as well as the Middle East and Airmen who served in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Be sure to tell the Veterans in your area or in your lives how much you appreciate their service to our country.
