The Quality Revolution: Why “Better” is the New Strategic Edge for Independent Pharmacies
In the world of retail pharmacy, saying “higher quality products sell better” might sound like a “water is wet” observation. But beneath the surface of
As our nation pauses today in reflection, The F.C. Sturtevant Company—founded by a veteran of the Civil War—stands with millions of Americans in expressing our deep and enduring gratitude to all those who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is not simply a date on the calendar; it is a moment of collective remembrance, a recognition of service and sacrifice, and a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy were secured by the courage of generations.
Our company’s history began with a soldier. More than a century ago, our founder, Francis Crayton Sturtevant returned from serving his country with a conviction that discipline, integrity, and commitment should guide not only military service but every aspect of American life—including building a business. Those founding principles still shape who we are today. They remind us that the strength of this nation has always come from individuals who were willing to stand in harm’s way for the values we share.
On this Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served in times of war and in times of peace, those who defended American ideals on distant shores, and those who supported missions closer to home. We acknowledge the countless sacrifices—seen and unseen—that veterans and their families have made. Their resilience and bravery have safeguarded our nation’s security and strengthened our communities.
To our fellow Americans who have served: we offer not only our appreciation but our respect. To those who continue to serve today, we stand with you. And to the families who support our veterans, we recognize the sacrifices you make every day.
The F.C. Sturtevant Company remains committed to honoring the legacy of our founder by upholding the values he lived by and by continuing to support the veterans who embody the best of this country. Let this day serve as a reminder that our gratitude must extend beyond words—that we must continue to support, uplift, and stand alongside those who have given so much in service to us all.
To all veterans, thank you.
