On Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we protect and the mission that drives our work every day at Lockheed Martin.

As Military Appreciation Month comes to a close, we also recognize the veterans across our company whose continued service, leadership, and dedication help advance that mission forward.

One of those veterans is Jared, Director of Army Aviation Programs and a retired U.S. Army aviator who served for 30 years in uniform. Throughout his military career, Jared deployed 21 times in support of missions around the world, logging more than 4,500 flight hours in the UH-60 Black Hawk and MH-47 Chinook helicopters. His service reflects a lifelong commitment to protecting others, leading under pressure, and supporting those on the front lines.

Today, that same sense of purpose continues at Lockheed Martin, where Jared helps advance aviation capabilities that support service members and mission success around the globe. His story is a powerful example of how veterans continue building impact long after their military careers end, bringing invaluable experience, leadership, and perspective to the work we do every day.

At Lockheed Martin, we remain committed to supporting the military community, empowering veterans in their next chapter of service, and advancing technologies that help protect those who serve today. On this Memorial Day, we remember the fallen, honor their sacrifice, and recommit ourselves to the mission they helped defend.
