We talked to some of our veterans and members of our Military Employee Resource Group to learn more about what the holiday means to them.

After serving seven years in the Army, Heath Garcia is now using the work ethic and leadership skills he learned there to thrive in a career at Best Buy.
These men and women bring unique skills and experiences that help them thrive at the company.
When U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant Victor Hill returned from a deployment in Afghanistan, he struggled to find a job. Many prospective employers thanked him for his military service, but they disqualified him because of his lack of civilian qualifications.
Then he landed a job as a seasonal employee at his local Best Buy Mobile, a move that would pave the way for a bright future. Three years later, he’s now the general manager at Best Buy Mobile Store #1931 in Annapolis, Maryland, where he’s leading a team of a dozen people this Holiday season.
