Today, we celebrate the birthday of the United States Navy and honor the generations of Sailors who have served our country with courage and dedication.

The U.S. Navy traces its birthday to October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress took action to establish a naval force.

BrightonOne is proud to recognize all those who have served in the Navy, as well as the families who have supported them throughout their service.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy, and thank you to our Sailors, past and present.

September may be over, but our commitment to supporting Veterans and their families continues all year long.

Su***de Prevention Month and Recovery Month provide important opportunities to raise awareness and our campus serves as a hub of resources, connecting Veterans and their families with healthcare, housing, recovery support, and a community they can turn to when they need it.

Support doesn’t end when the month does. Neither does our commitment.

Healthcare. Housing. Hope. That’s BrightonOne.

"You are not forgotten" are the four words on the POW/MIA flag, and for good reason. They represent a promise.

A promise to keep the faith, keep searching, and never forget. Those who answered our nation’s call have earned our commitment to stand with them. It is a reminder that our nation's obligation endures, to remember, to account for those still missing, and to stand beside the families who are still waiting for answers.

At BrightonOne, we recognize that our call to service does not end when the uniform comes off. Today, we remember those who have not come home and reaffirm our commitment to the Veterans, military families, and communities we are privileged to serve.

Taps sounded at the Massachusetts State House this morning as the American flag flew at half-staff.

It is a sound many of us have heard before. But on this morning, 25 years after September 11, it seemed to carry a different weight.

We remember the 2,977 lives lost that day, the families who still carry that loss, and the first responders who ran toward danger.

And we remember those who answered our nation’s call in the years that followed. Today, many of them are the veterans we are privileged to serve, still carrying with them the consequences of a day that changed the course of their lives.

Twenty-five years later, the sound of Taps reminds us that remembrance is not simply about looking back. It is about keeping faith with those we lost, honoring those who served, and carrying forward the spirit of service that brought Americans together in the days that followed.

Today, BrightonOne remembers.
