IAVA Rings the Closing Bell at NASDAQ
July 2

On July 2nd, IAVA Member Veterans kicked-off Independence Day weekend by ringing the Closing Bell at The NASDAQ Stock Market in New York City.  At the cereomony, IAVA Board Member and Afghanistan veteran Wes Moore delivered a speech calling on Americans to pause ahead of the July 4th weekend to remember U.S. troops serving abroad and new veterans who have recently returned home.  After the Closing Bell, NASDAQ premiered IAVA's new video "Stronger Together" outside its headquarters in Times Square.  Click here to watch the ceremony!

“I am honored to ring NASDAQ’s Closing Bell with my fellow veterans today. As we close the markets before the July 4th holiday, we must pause and remember all those in uniform who have sacrificed for our nation, and those still serving on the frontlines today,” said IAVA Board Member and Afghanistan veteran Wes Moore.
