Sean Foley praised the impact ACP has made while
partnering with top brands like Disney, Amazon, Coca-Cola,
FedEx and John Deere. He said the organization’s work is
precisely the type Martin Marietta is eager to support.
“Recognizing the efforts of all who have served, and
continue to serve, in our armed forces is important,” Foley
said while announcing the partnership on Veterans Day.
“Our work with ACP coincides with the launch of our first
employee resource group, the Martin Marietta Military &
Veterans Community. Our ONE Martin Marietta team has
a long history of assisting veterans; I am confident our
people will again step forward to help those who have
bravely served our country.”
