On Veterans Day, November 11, Washington State Ferries will participate in a special tribute by sounding their whistles at 11:11 a. m. and flying U. S. military service flags on all operating vessels.

This event aims to honor the bravery and sacrifices of veterans, encouraging communities to come together in remembrance. The initiative highlights the critical role that veterans play in society and fosters a sense of unity within the community. Passengers on the ferries are invited to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served in the military. In addition to the whistle tribute, the display of military service flags serves as a visible acknowledgment of veterans' contributions. This act of homage not only honors individual service members but also reinforces the collective gratitude of the community.

Washington State Ferries emphasizes its commitment to recognizing and supporting local veterans through this event. Such initiatives are vital in maintaining awareness and appreciation for the sacrifices made by those in uniform.
