Scott’s View: Independence Day Represents A Time for Gratitude and Seeing the Country You Served

Scott Higins

With the start of Independence Day holiday this coming week, many towns across America are planning fireworks shows, parades and cookouts to celebrate our nation's 248th birthday. At the same time, It is truly a time to celebrate and be grateful for all the freedoms our country enjoys. The service and sacrifice of our servicemen and women have preserved our freedoms. We must never forget.

Summer is also a time to travel, and for WeSalute members this means see the country you served. It is particularly important to recognize our longtime partners in the travel space who have done so much to make this travel dream possible through their exclusive benefits for WeSalute. So today, I want to recognize United Airlines, Greyhound, and Avis and Budget Car Rental. These four alone total nearly 75 years of partnership with us, and we want to thank them today. We are grateful for their continued support.

For even more airline savings, you can also check out JetBlue, Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and Lufthansa.

Scott Higgins Military & Veterans Life Scott's View: Honoring Our Sacred Anniversaries and the Legacy of Service As the days of August shorten and we look toward September, my thoughts always turn to reflection, history, and gratitude. This season is a deeply meaningful time for our country — a period marked by milestones that defined our nation's birth, secured global peace, and tested our national resolve in the modern era. Today, I want to step away from our regular platform updates to focus entirely on these critical anniversaries, honoring the generations of patriots who have kept us free.
Dolly Parton WeSalute Awards VetFamily: Honoring the Legacy of Dolly Parton (1946–2026) Music and entertainment icon Dolly Parton, a world-class musician, singer-songwriter, and philanthropist, passed away on August 25, 2026, at the age of 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Beyond her legendary status in the entertainment world, Parton was a devoted VetFamily member, fiercely proud of her connection to the U.S. military through her late husband, Carl Dean, and her own decades of steadfast support for service members.
