Southwest Veterans share their thoughts about Freedom.

At the St. Louis Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, November 8, 2008, Southwest announced our partnership with the Center for Citizen Leadership. Southwest is endowing Fellowships in honor of two Southwest Employees who gave their lives in the current war—Finance Employee and Sergeant Charles B. Kitowski III, U.S. Army, and MCI Provisioning Agent and Sergeant First Class Michael T.

Veterans Day to me is celebrating, remembering and honoring our heroes that have ALL served in the Military. Honor ALL  Veterans of the US Armed forces, present, past and future. My very own brave solider, SGT Charles Bernard Kitowski, lost his life a year ago, August 12, 2007 while serving over in Afghanistan.

At the11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns of the “war to end all wars,” World War I, were stilled.  The US, the French, and the British and their allies have honored that day for the past 90 years, even though the war to end all wars in turn begat, World War II, the Berlin Airlift, Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam, Beirut, Panama, Grenada, the First Gulf War, Bosnia
