Veterans Day is observed on a date steeped in historical meaning, rooted in the end of World War I. The observance dates back to 1919, when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as 鈥淎rmistice Day鈥� to commemorate the month (11th), day (11th) and time (11 a.m.) in 1918 when fighting ended in World War I. On that date, U.S. and allied forces emerged victorious in a conflict once deemed 鈥渢he war to end all wars.鈥� Later, on Nov. 11, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day and proclaimed it as a national holiday.

As a commanding officer of fast-attack nuclear submarines, Roncska led his crew with a people-first approach that proved vital to their safety and success, earning his ship recognition as the best-performing in its squadron. He didn鈥檛 bark orders鈥攈e built trust. Throughout his career, he has proven that a culture of love and compassion can fuel remarkable results.

Roncska describes his signature 鈥淟eading with Love鈥� philosophy in his book 鈥淏eyond the Sea.鈥� Through powerful stories with actionable takeaways, he guides attendees through practical steps and tools for implementing compassion in their own teams. He shows how a supportive, people-centered approach can improve retention, foster open communication, and ultimately drive success across industries.
