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.
