Samsung Marks Veterans Day with Renewed Commitment to Military Issues and SupportAs the nation prepares for a day of remembrance and lauds the brave Americans who have fought to defend the freedoms of this country, Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics America, Inc. is proud to reaffirm its ongoing commitment to making a meaningful impact, through a series of citizenship contributions dedicated to the veteran and military community. For more than 20 years and with its footprint of 18,500 employees across the United States, Samsung has used its technology and resources to enhance the lives, experiences and opportunities for military communities nationwide. At Samsung, we are proud to employ veterans, who not only serve as a constant source of inspiration, but who lead many of our veterans-related community initiatives. "At Samsung, supporting former and current U.S. military service members and their families is close to our heart," said Tim Baxter, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics North America. "Samsung is proud to work with organizations across the country that help veterans and military families connect, build communities, and live successful and enriching lives. We honor them and thank them for their service." To mark Veterans Day, Samsung will engage in a number of initiatives across the organization designed to contribute to the lives of military personnel, veterans, and their families. Throughout Samsung's offices, all monitors will feature profiles of Samsung employees who served in the military as a symbol of gratitude for their efforts in serving this country. Samsung is particularly passionate about helping veterans and their spouses who, after completing their service, are looking to successfully transition into the workplace. The Samsung Electronics America Veterans Community, which was founded with a dozen employees in November of 2016, now includes more than 100 veterans and family members who focus on engagement outreach, volunteering, and mentorship of newly hired veterans.
