Military and veteran families make tremendous sacrifices in support of their loved ones in uniform. Since the 1990s, November has been designated as “National Veterans and Military Families Month,” a time dedicated to honoring the contributions of veterans' families, military families, and surviving family members. These courageous individuals face unique challenges with strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment, yet their significant contributions to our nation often go unnoticed.

At Becker Digital, our leadership team includes veterans and military spouses, representing a proud legacy of four generations of military service spanning from World War I to the Global War on Terror. Our lived experiences as a multi-generational military family inspire our commitment to supporting veteran families, military families, and surviving family members. We understand the unique challenges they face and are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in their lives.

This November, let us take a moment to recognize and celebrate the sacrifices made by veteran and military families and honor their vital role in serving our nation.

Did you know that Fort Meade, South Dakota, played a significant role in the history of the "Star-Spangled Banner"?

In 1892, Colonel Caleb Carton, distressed by the absence of a national anthem, mandated that the song be performed at the end of all concerts and parades. He brought this initiative to the attention of Washington, D.C., where Secretary of War Daniel E. Lamont subsequently ordered its daily performance at every army post during retreat. The "Star-Spangled Banner" was officially adopted as America's national anthem by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914, with the law being passed in 1931.

Fort Meade was established in 1878 by the remaining troops of General George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry to maintain peace between the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes and the influx of prospectors. It was named in honor of Major General George G. Meade, whose victory at Gettysburg was pivotal in the Civil War. Notably, the fort was also home to Comanche, the sole cavalry survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn, who was retired with military honors.

Today, Fort Meade is part of the VA Black Hills Health Care System, offering comprehensive healthcare services to eligible veterans and their families. The campus includes the Fort Meade National Cemetery, where veterans who have served our country are laid to rest with honor, and is adjacent to the South Dakota Guard Training Center, reflecting the continued military significance of the site.

As a veteran-owned small business, Becker Digital is honored for the opportunity to train VA employees at Fort Meade. Our training sessions aim to enhance the skills and knowledge of those who provide vital services to our veterans, ensuring they receive the highest quality care and support. It’s a privilege to contribute to the ongoing mission of this historic location and support the dedicated VA professionals who serve our veteran community!

Established in 1907, the historic Battle Mountain Sanitarium in Hot Springs, South Dakota, was designed as a specialized medical treatment center for soldiers with musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions, utilizing the region's mineral springs and dry air for therapeutic benefits. As part of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (NHDVS), it was unique in being the only facility within this network dedicated exclusively to short-term medical care rather than long-term residential living.

The facility, built from local pink sandstone, was strategically located on a bluff overlooking Hot Springs and offered amenities such as plunge baths and an amusement hall. Its design includes a radial or panoptical layout, with wards arranged like spokes on a wheel to maximize sunlight and airflow, and minimize cross-contamination. By 1909, the facility had treated over 800 veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American wars. Today, the Hot Springs VA facility provides care to eligible veterans and their families as part of the Veterans Affairs Black Hills Health Care System.

Becker Digital’s team recently had the opportunity to support Hot Springs VA team members through an interactive training engagement focused on the modern military and veteran community. It is an honor to contribute to the VA’s critical mission of serving those who have served our nation! As a veteran-owned and operated small business, we are dedicated to a lifetime of continued service as a trusted partner providing stellar support to the public sector.

Becker Digital is out and about in Hot Springs, South Dakota! This charming western town is famous for its prehistoric Mammoth Site, soothing mineral springs, and a longstanding tradition of innovative veteran healthcare.

Nestled in the scenic Black Hills, Hot Springs boasts breathtaking natural beauty and a wealth of local history. It’s also home to Evans Plunge, one of the oldest continuously operating swimming pools in the U.S. Built in 1890, this natural mineral spring pool has been a favorite spot for over a century.

The springs played a key role in bringing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to the area, establishing the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, now part of the Veterans Affairs Black Hills Health Care System.
