Veterans Day 2026
Dear HII Team,
On Veterans Day and every day, working alongside the many veterans on our team reminds us that what we build matters. To all veterans and military families across HII, thank you.
We are proud of our work at HII that supports transitioning veterans to the private sector through one-on-one relationships in business, and I invite you to help. We are in our fourth year of a successful partnership with American Corporate Partners (ACP), a national, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting veterans after their military service. Look for a message in tomorrow’s HII Highlights about how you can join in. Veterans deserve care and appreciation, and this work helps to make sure they feel it.
In the meantime, today’s warfighters need us to deliver urgently. Within the next year HII will deliver five ships of five different classes, as well as five unmanned surface ships and more than 80 unmanned undersea systems. Each of us has a role to play and I ask, in support of tomorrow’s veterans, that we not let up until we meet these commitments.
Thank you in advance for your continued, unwavering dedication to mission.
Respectfully,
Chris Kastner
