Today, we take a moment to remember the brave men and women who gave everything for this country.

Memorial Day is more than just a holiday. It’s about sacrifice. It’s about courage. It’s about families whose lives were changed forever so the rest of us could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.

At Plumbers Local 68, we proudly honor the service members who never made it home, including veterans, union brothers, family members, and loved ones connected to our Local who answered the call to serve something bigger than themselves.

Their sacrifice is the reason we get to gather with our families, go to work, chase our dreams, and live freely. That’s not something we should ever forget.

Today, we remember them. We honor them. And we hold deep gratitude for the price they paid.

From our Plumbers Local 68 family to yours, thank you. 🇺🇸

135 years ago, a group of plumbers came together because they believed skilled tradesmen deserved better. Better training. Better wages. Better lives for their families.
That idea is still alive today.
You can walk through our training center right now and see apprentices learning a trade that can change their entire future. You’ll see experienced journeymen sharpening their skills because in this trade, you never stop learning.
A lot has changed over 135 years, but one thing hasn’t.
Pride.
Pride in being able to build something with your own hands. Pride in knowing hospitals, schools, and buildings across the Gulf Coast were built by union plumbers. Pride in carrying a skill nobody can take away from you.
This isn’t just another job.
For a lot of us, this trade gave us a life we never thought we’d have.
If you’re already in the trade and want more out of your career, come see what we’re about.
135 years strong and still building the next generation.

Plumbers Local Union 68 is dedicated to advancing the plumbing profession through top-tier apprenticeship training, advocating for workers' rights and safety, and enhancing the health and well-being of our communities.

National Apprenticeship Week is about recognizing all the apprentices out there willing to take a different road.

Not every apprentice followed the path people expected.

Some were told college was the only option.
Some took a chance on the trades when others doubted it.
Some chose a road nobody in their family had taken before.
That takes guts.
It takes toughness to break old patterns and bet on yourself.

Our apprentices did that.

They chose to learn a craft, earn while they learn, and build a future with their hands and their minds.
That boldness is part of why our apprenticeship program is stronger than ever and growing.

To all the apprentices out there, thank you for being tough enough to take the road less traveled and proud enough to carry construction trades forward.

You’re not just building careers.

You’re changing family stories.

Real training. Real people. Real commitment.
