Today, we celebrate the men and women who have answered the call to protect and defend our freedoms, a duty that less than 1% of Americans take on today. Only 7% of Americans have ever served, and for those of us in that small group, service wasn’t just a role—it was a life-shaping experience. We learned teamwork, resilience, and a dedication to excellence that stays with us forever. (Below is a photo of the team I served with in Iraq).
But as we honor those who served, we must also recognize and address the issues that persist within this community, including hunger and unemployment. Hunger is far too common among service members and veterans, and at Chobani, we’re proud to play a small part by providing additional support to help veterans and military families put food on the table with the Hero Batch.
Beyond nourishment, one of the most impactful ways we can honor veterans is by offering them meaningful opportunities in our workplaces. Veterans have led teams, managed logistics, and built strong communities—skills that our businesses need to grow and thrive. This Veterans Day, let’s do more than just thank those who served; let’s hire them, support them, and work to resolve the challenges they face.
Today, let’s nourish the service and dedication of our veterans and recognize the lasting impact they make in all they do.
