At SIA Insurance, giving back to our community is more than a company value—it’s part of who we are. My wife, Tracy, and I are proud to volunteer and financially support several veterans’ organizations. Our company also contributes financially and offers employee incentives to encourage participation in charitable causes that make a difference.
One of the most meaningful events we’re involved in is the Ponce Inlet Veterans Memorial Association’s Service, honoring those who have served our country. Although I’ve never served in the military—and I’m certainly no theologian—I’m deeply grateful to take part in these ceremonies. Somewhere along the way, I was designated the “prayer guy” for the events, probably because the board prefers prayers that are brief and to the point… a skill I’ve perfected!
Tracy proudly served in the U.S. Navy, as did our son and my father-in-law. My own father served in the U.S. Army. Their service—and the service of so many others—fills me with pride and gratitude every day.
We are forever thankful for the selflessness and sacrifice of all who have worn the uniform of our nation, whether they saw combat or not. Their dedication and courage safeguard the freedoms we hold dear.
To all veterans and their families—thank you. Your service continues to inspire us to give back, to remember, and to honor.
— David Bell, on behalf of the entire SIA Insurance team
