Built on the Mission

The men and women of our armed forces make great sacrifices to defend our nation and protect our freedoms. Their service deserves our respect and gratitude, on Veterans Day and every day.

Supporting the warfighter is central to our mission. We build the technologies and capabilities our military depends on to maintain a decisive advantage. That commitment extends beyond the battlefield. We value the experience and leadership veterans bring to our workforce and provide opportunities for them to continue supporting the mission after their military service ends.

For many veterans, transitioning out of the military doesn't mean leaving their mission behind. Through our Continuing Your Mission program, we help service members and veterans build careers where they can continue supporting national security. Our dedicated Military Relations Managers help veterans and the military community explore career opportunities, while programs like the Department of War SkillBridge help transitioning service members prepare for civilian careers.

In 2026, Lockheed Martin received several national recognitions for its commitment to supporting veterans and the military community, including:

• U.S. Department of Labor: HIRE Vets Medallion Award
• Forbes: Great Workplace for Veterans
• Military Times: 2026 Best for Vets: Employers
• Newsweek: America's Greatest Workplaces for Veterans 2026/27
• U.S. Veterans Magazine: Top Veteran-Friendly Employers
• VETS Indexes: Employer Award

While we're proud of these recognitions, our greatest pride is in the veterans who continue to serve our mission. To all who have worn the uniform, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
