November Newsletter Themes


Veterans Day graphic



Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a National Holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American Veterans - living or dead - but especially gives thanks to living Veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.




Aviation History Month graphic


Aviation History Month is celebrated every year in November, recognizing all the contributions America made to the field of aviation and its development. Yes, it's safe to say the U.S. played a pivotal role in the field. Hence, this month is all about reading up on the history of aviation or simply watching documentaries that shed light on the brilliant individuals who dedicated their lives to advancing the aviation industry. It is the accomplishments of these men and women that make Americans proud, even to this day!



Native American Heritage Month graphic


Every year in November, Native American Heritage Month is celebrated to honor the remarkable Native Americans who have contributed a lot to improve the character of the Nation. November is the time to rejoice in diverse and rich cultures, histories, and traditions and to appreciate the great contributions of the Native Americans. This month allows us to spread awareness about tribes or to educate people about the various challenges faced by the Native Americans in the past and today. Throughout this month, we commit to keep on supporting the remaining Native American tribes and let the world know about their sacrifices.

The first time American Indian Day was declared was in May 1916. In 1990, a joint resolution was approved by George H.W. Bush, which called for November to be named National American Heritage Month. Declarations like these have been issued since 1994, such as Native American Heritage Month and National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month.

City of Chicago Honors Veterans Day

Story by PaYS Marketing Analyst Davin Bentley

City of Chicago seal On November 11th, 2022, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), and the entire City will honor local and national Veterans during this year's Veterans Day Ceremony at Soldier Field. The ceremony will be held inside Gate O of Chicago's famed Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears.
Soldier Field

In an interview with DCASE staff, Mayor Lightfoot stated, "Veterans Day allows us to honor our heroes, the men and women who wore our Nation's uniform and proudly served their country". We must demonstrate our gratitude to Veterans and their families by fulfilling our obligations to them and ensuring they have the resources they earned for their sacrifices and contributions to our country."
Doughboy statue

The ceremony will take place in front of the statue of Doughboy, an informal term for members of the United States Army and Marine Corps, especially members of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. Soldier Field was named as such at the request of Gold Star Mothers to honor the men lost in World War I. The Doughboy statue, originally placed in Garfield Park, was restored and installed in Soldier Field as part of the stadium's renovation. The nearby benches for moments of reflection contain notable quotations about service to country and actual Armed Forces Medals of Honor cast into the backrests.

Army PaYS Celebrates National Aviation History Month

By: Davin Bentley

National Aviation History Month graphic


When it comes to Aviation History Month in November, there's plenty to celebrate. From the first balloons sent up into the atmosphere, to every device invented that elevated humans above the earth, our imaginations have been captured by the idea of flight. In honor of National Aviation History Month, the PaYS Team would like to recognize PaYS Partners The Boeing Company and Soutwest Airlines for making it happen in aviation.

Today, Southwest Airlines operates one of the world's most admired and awarded airlines, offering its aviation services at 121 airports across 11 countries.

Based in Dallas and famous for an Employee-first corporate Culture, Southwest maintains an unprecedented record of no involuntary furloughs or layoffs in its history.

With regards to Soldiers being hired within Southwest Airlines, Executive Chairman Gary Kelly stated, "Southwest is dedicated to hiring Veterans and supporting our Military and their spouses. Our purpose is to connect people to what's important in their lives through friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel. We simply couldn't fulfill our purpose if not for our Military men and women. We appreciate their service and bravery in providing a blanket of freedom for our country, and we are honored to have an opportunity to welcome them into our Southwest Family."

Association of the United States Army 2022 Annual Conference:
Building the Army of 2030

By: Aimee Halpin

AUSA Meeting & Expo graphicGoing down the escalator into the conference hall, a tank appears. As the view opens, small robotic creatures move, people stand in front of a helicopter, trucks with missile launchers are waiting, virtual reality stations are ready, weapons are on display and more. To the Army, this is just another wonderful day at the AUSA Conference.

The PaYS Team shared exhibit space with Soldier for Life at the conference while promoting PaYS awareness to the many partners, Soldiers and other stakeholders that stopped by to visit.

PaYS Program Manager, Antonio Johnson stated, "The AUSA Conference is another example of the collaborative effort between PaYS and Soldier for Life. This was a great opportunity to inform and educate people on the benefits of the PaYS partnership."

General Dynamics Electric Boat, Booz Allen Hamilton, BAE Systems, L3 Communications, Oshkosh Corp., The Boeing Company, Akima LLC, Airbus Helicopter Inc., Raytheon and Chenega Corporation were among the PaYS Partners in attendance at the event.

The first day of the largest annual land warfare exposition in North America started off with a keynote address by Army Secretary Christine Wormuth. This three-day in-person event featured more than 700 exhibits in five halls on both levels of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in Washington, D.C.

"Building the Army of 2030" was the theme of this year's meeting and the PaYS Team caught up with GEN Gary Brito, Commanding General, TRADOC, and asked him to expand on what that meant to him. GEN Brito stated, "This effort includes advances in training, doctrine, capabilities, technology and more as Aimee Halpin, Antonio Johnson, GEN Gary Brito, Crancena Ross and Travis Carter.we're modernizing the Army it's important to modernize the programs as well including recruiting and outreach."

GEN Brito also spoke to the audience at the conference in a forum titled "In a War for Talent --- Recruiting, Retention and Opportunity."

GEN Brito said, "This is a big, total team effort. We will succeed. ...In order to deliver the Army of 2030 and get ready for 2040, we'll continue to be innovative in our talent management approach, and we will turn this recruiting challenge into an opportunity and continue to march forward."

From start to finish the conference was jam-packed full of supportive people learning about the PaYS Program and how we provide America's Soldiers with an opportunity to serve their country while they prepare for their future. Connecting America's business community to America's Army one Soldier at a time…one partnership at a time. We enjoyed speaking with Future Soldiers from VMI to West Point as well as Soldiers who were interested in learning more about the program to take the information back to their companies at home.
