With our size and scale, we believe it’s our responsibility to lead on important issues, and one example is our commitment to veterans who have served our nation. Our founder, Sam Walton, instilled in our company a deep respect for our men and women in uniform – a respect that has only increased through the years. On Memorial Day, Wal-Mart began offering a job to any honorably discharged veteran within his or her first 12 months off active duty who meets our standard hiring criteria.
