I recently received a card in the mail from Vanguard. It read (in part):
Happy anniversary! You've been a client-owner of Vanguard for 20 years.
It went on to thank me for my loyalty, congratulate me on "reaching this milestone," and so forth.
Overall, I think it was a nice touch from them.
I have been with them a long time and IMO they are a great company. I'm hoping for another 20 years (at least!) together.
For those of you interested, here are the three funds I use the most at Vanguard.
I almost went through the exercise of calculating how much I've saved/earned with Vanguard in 20 years simply because my expense ratios have been almost nil compared to an industry average of over 1%. As we all know, 1% compounded over 20 years adds up to some BIG MONEY!
I'm a big fan of Vanguard and its funds. It definitely has the customer service side of things down much better than many of its competitors. And you can't beat the expense ratios.

Congratulations on the milestone - before I purchased a home Vanguard index funds were my go-to investment. Index investments come down to how well they track the index, and cost. Vanguard are winners in both regards
