National Military Appreciation Month and Memorial Day are observed each May as a way to honor, remember, recognize, and appreciate service members who wear the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces. These annual holidays serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of freedom and provide a timely occasion for Samsung Electronics America and our employees to connect with the military community in the areas where we work and live.<\/p>\n

For the fourth consecutive year, Samsung\u2019s Veterans Community Employee Resource Group (ERG) has chosen to support Carry The Load<\/a>, a non-profit dedicated to providing active, meaningful ways to honor and celebrate the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes – military, veterans, law enforcement, firefighters and first responders. Samsung employees from across the nation have signed up to participate in numerous socially distanced in-person and virtual activities<\/a> to raise money in support of programs benefiting military service members and their families.\u00a0These activities include a national walk\/cycle relay throughout the month of May in which participants hand off the American flag every 5 miles on a route that covers more than 15,500 miles of ground; a \u201cDallas Memorial March\u201d two-day Memorial Day weekend event, hosted in Carry The Load\u2019s hometown; and fundraising and donation opportunities to benefit the cause.<\/p>\n

Hear from a few of our employees on which of our nation\u2019s heroes they are choosing to honor.<\/p>\n
