This Veterans Day, we want to take a moment to say thank you to the men and women on our own team who have worn the uniform. Every day, they bring the same discipline, teamwork, and grit they learned in in the Armed Forces to our shipping docks, production floors, and corporate offices. We're also honoring the family members of our employees who served. Their sacrifice is part of the story too, and we're proud to share it.

We are incredibly blessed to live in this great country where we have freedoms that so many across the world do not have.  That freedom would not be possible without the men and women who have served our country with bravery and honor. We are forever indebted to their service and sacrifice. 

From the Marine Corps to the Navy, the Army to the National Guard, here are the Veterans we're lucky to work alongside. Please join us in appreciating these Veterans, and all Veterans, this Veterans Day!

Errol Mandrell

U.S. Navy · 33 years

Retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CWO5)

I'd like to honor my dad, retired CWO5 Errol Mandrell, who dedicated 33 years of his life to serving our country in the United States Navy.

His Navy career began in the 1980s aboard the USS Midway, stationed in Japan. Over the next three decades, he completed multiple deployments during the Iraq War and held various leadership positions, including serving as the Officer in Charge (OIC) of the Navy brig at Bangor Base in Silverdale, Washington, while on shore duty.

As his daughter, I'm incredibly proud of everything he accomplished, but even more proud of the dedication, sacrifice, and leadership behind those 33 years of service. His career is something I've always admired, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to recognize him this Veterans Day.

I'd like to honor my grandpa, R.J. Trevillion, who served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was a true patriot. He loved this country and was proud to have served. I am extremely proud of that heritage.
