Rain or Shine: Samsung Upholds Veterans Day Tradition
11/22/2023
Since Samsung Electronics Home Appliances America (SEHA) planted roots in Newberry, South Carolina, Samsung has looked for ways to enhance the lives, experiences and opportunities for local military communities, working closely with organizations like the American Legion and the Freedom and Hope Foundation. For the last seven years, Samsung has hosted a Veterans Day Luncheon, providing hundreds of meals to veteran families. It’s become a cherished and honored tradition.
“Every year, we look forward to this event to show our commitment and appreciation for those who gave so much,” said Daniel Grove, Head of Human Resources at Samsung Electronics Home Appliances America. “Veterans hold a special place in our community, our company, and our hearts. We look forward to continuing our efforts and showing the local community how important they are to the success at Samsung.”
On Saturday, November 11, Samsung hosted the 7th annual Veterans Day Luncheon at the Veterans’ Affairs Office in Newberry. Despite inclement weather, which canceled the Newberry Veterans Day Parade, Samsung’s drive-thru event was rain or shine. Volunteers braved the rain and handed out 670 meals in a Samsung tote bag with additional branded items and special treats inside.
