Memorial Day is a day is a day of deep meaning, as we reflect on the immense sacrifices that have been made to protect the freedoms we have today. My father was a Marine and Vietnam veteran, and he instilled in me a profound appreciation for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
In this episode of The Huddle, I’m joined by two incredible associates who exemplify the spirit of service and commitment: Stephanie, an Air National Guard Member, and Dell, a Marine Corps Veteran. Stephanie and Dell are two of the over 500,000 veterans and military spouses we’ve proudly hired the past ten years.
In this episode, they talked about what Memorial Day means to them, how their service shaped their values, and how they’re using their skills and passion for serving others here at Walmart. I hope you’ll listen, and also take the time to pause on Monday and think about those who gave everything. Thank you to Stephanie, Dell, and all our servicemembers for your selflessness and courage. We are so grateful.
