Veterans Day #ThankOurHeroes

As we honor our Veterans this month, we thought now would be a good time to share some of the resources AT&T has available for veterans looking for jobs. 

- A military-focused career site: www.att.jobs/military. We understand that the job search and application process at large companies can be challenging for anyone — and perhaps even more so for transitioning veterans. This website is designed to help.

On the page you’ll find:

A Military Skills Translator Tool that allows veterans to use their current Military Occupation Code or Military Occupation Specialty to identify civilian jobs at AT&T that may be a good fit for them: www.att.jobs/MOS.

- The AT&T Veteran Talent Network provides veterans with the opportunity to participate in online career video chat sessions or to connect directly with one of hundreds of AT&T veteran employee volunteers at: http://veterans.att.jobs.

- A career page for military spouses highlighting the many work locations at AT&T and jobs that are portable and/or virtual. This also helps search for jobs near military installations and helps connect military spouses:  www.att.jobs/milspouse

- And for AT&T veteran employees, we have the AT&T Veteran Employee Resource Group. This group creates an instant community for veterans joining the company and involves them in outreach, philanthropy and volunteerism opportunities – including ways to refer fellow veterans for jobs at AT&T.

Join AT&T’s Veterans Day movement and let them know who/what/why you're grateful this Veterans Day and be sure to tag #ThankOurHeroes on all social channels.

AT&T Contributes $50,000 to Mayor’s Fund Los Angeles to Thank and ‘Welcome Home’ Formerly Homeless Veterans

AT&T CONTRIBUTES $50,000 TO MAYOR’S FUND LOS ANGELES TO THANK AND ‘WELCOME HOME’ FORMERLY HOMELESS VETERANS

Los Angeles, California – November 3, 2016 — In honor of Veterans Day, November 11, 2016, AT&T is contributing $50,000 to Mayor’s Fund Los Angeles to support the new online Welcome Home Project for formerly homeless veterans. This contribution is part of a $400,000 investment the company is making to local organizations across the country who serve veterans and active duty military personnel.

“We have made incredible progress over the last two years by housing nearly 7,000 men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform -- but our job is far from done. L.A. still has the highest concentration of homeless veterans in America,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. “That is unacceptable — but not unsolvable. I will fight until every veteran in my city has a safe place to call home. I want to thank AT&T for its tremendous support and generous contribution to the Welcome Home Project, which is making a difference in people’s lives by giving them the essentials they need to rebuild their lives and restore their dignity.”

AT&T’s contribution supports the new online Welcome Home Projectcollecting donations and assembling welcome home baskets – filled with household supplies and necessities – for formerly homeless veterans as they move into housing.

“Our nation’s servicemen and servicewomen have made great sacrifices to protect our country and our freedoms, and it’s an honor to support them,” said Ken McNeely, President, AT&T California. “This contribution is just one way we at AT&T are supporting veterans and expressing our gratitude for their service this Veteran’s Day.”

AT&T’s contributions to Mayor’s Fund Los Angeles and more than a dozen organizations nationwide build on the company’s nearly 100-year commitment to active military personnel, veterans and their families. In addition to the philanthropic contribution announced today, AT&T will host community volunteer events across the country in collaboration with local organizations serving active military personnel, veterans and their families. AT&T also encourages individuals to join in #ThankOurHeroes, a new social media campaign to show appreciation for servicemen and servicewomen. AT&T is encouraging everyone to upload messages, photos and videos showing their gratitude to veterans using #ThankOurHeroes, which AT&T and veterans’ organizations will share throughout the month of November.

Happy and Sad Veteran's Day

My husband, a veteran with 3 tours of duty on his record and an honorable discharge from the 82nd Airborne of the US Army just asked me why I wished him a "happy" Veteran's Day.  For him, today is a hard day as he remembers his friends who will never be able to return to us on Earth.  For me, it is a day to be nothing short of thankful.  It is a happy day because tonight I get to take him out to dinner and hug and kiss him a million and one thank yous for his service.  I'm proud to be his wife.  I love you hubbling.  Thank you for everything you have done.
