It’s hard to believe we are already one week into November – the leaves are falling, the air is crisp, and Veterans Day is right around the corner! At Uber, we pride ourselves in having partner drivers who are part of the military community. As we gear up for Veterans Day on Tuesday, we are dedicating this weekend to the vets! Thank you to all of those who are serving or have served our country.
