At Lockheed Martin, "We never forget who we're working for." And in honor of every brave service member, the people of Lockheed Martin are working together — "United in Gratitude " — to show our appreciation and lend a helping hand.
The cause of liberty has always demanded sacrifice. For the men and women in uniform serving overseas and at home in these times of conflict, the sacrifices are many and oftentimes perilous.
To our service members, love of country is more than a slogan — it’s a way of life. Far from family, friends and familiar things, servicemen and women need to be reminded that the home fires do indeed burn brightly.
Lockheed Martin provides critical technology used by those serving in the fight for freedom. But for the 140,000 employees of Lockheed Martin, that is only the beginning of our commitment.
We are equally dedicated to supporting service members with programs that improve their lives and the lives of their families, enhance educational and training opportunities, and honor their selfless duty to country. Lockheed Martin supports U.S. service members, as well as those from the United Kingdom and Canada, where we have significant numbers of employees. Our support spans philanthropic contributions, fund-raising efforts, and volunteer activities.
Deployed service members receive care packages; military kids receive a book and a video of their deployed parent reading it to them; wounded troops use recreational activities as part of their physical and emotional recovery; and disabled veterans enjoy new careers at Lockheed Martin — these are just a few of the ways we help.
