November is National Veterans and Military Families Month, a time when our nation pauses to recognize those who have worn the uniform and the families who have stood beside them.

At GTRI, this recognition is more than symbolic. Veterans are deeply woven into the fabric of who we are. Their experience strengthens our research, their leadership elevates our teams, and their sense of duty reinforces our mission to serve national security.

To honor their continued impact, GTRI has launched a GTRI Veterans Impact page, now live at gtri.gatech.edu/veterans.

The page brings together the stories, contributions, and voices of veterans across our organization. It highlights why veterans are essential to GTRI’s identity, how their service informs our culture, and how their insights help shape the technologies and tools that keep the warfighter safe.

Launching this page during National Veterans and Military Families Month reinforces a core belief of GTRI: Supporting veterans is not a once-a-year activity. It is an everyday commitment that aligns naturally with our purpose, our projects, and the partnerships we build with our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Pentagon sponsors.

To the veterans and families who contribute so much to our organization, thank you. Your service has driven your lives and careers. Here at GTRI, it also drives our mission.
