GE has long been proud of the thousands of veterans in its workforce and thanks them and all veterans for their service. This week, the U.S. Department of Labor bestowed on GE its HIRE Vets Medallion Award, which recognizes a company’s dedication to recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans in meaningful careers. This follows on the heels of another recognition from Newsweek, which placed GE on its list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Veterans. And finally, to celebrate Veterans Day this weekend, we invite you to revisit GE Reports’ inspiring series on Military Makeover With Montel, in which a group of GE Aerospace employees pitched in on the remodeling of a veteran family’s home in Lynn, Massachusetts.
