New Â鶹ÊÓƵ's manufacturing community contributed much more to America's armed conflicts than just equipment and uniforms made here in our factories: thousands of men and women from New Â鶹ÊÓƵ served in the armed forces. This year, we remember those who served with just some of their faces, taken from our digital archive. These do not represent every New Â鶹ÊÓƵ veteran, and we thank all of them, pictured or not, for their dedication and sacrifice.
