Walmart Commemorates Anniversary of Veterans Welcome Home Commitment with Announcement of 3,346 Veteran Hires in Indiana

0
Memorial-DayToday, Walmart announced it has hired 130,828 veterans since it announced its Veterans Welcome Home Commitment in May 2013*, including 3,346 veterans in the state of Indiana. Of those 130,828 veteran hires, 15,176 have been promoted to jobs with higher pay and greater responsibility.
 
Staff Sergeant Patrick Shannon of the Army National Guard has served in numerous capacities with Walmart, including as store manager of the Supercenter in Fishers, IN.
 
“It has been an honor to work for a company in Walmart that invested in me as an active duty serviceman and as a veteran,” said Shannon, who served a tour in Iraq as a United States Marine while working as an associate for Walmart. “The thousands of veterans joining Walmart each year contribute to a uniquely positive culture.”
On Memorial Day 2013, Walmart introduced the Veterans Welcome Home Commitment, which guaranteed a job offer to any eligible, honorably discharged U.S. veteran who was within 12 months of active duty. The initial goal was to hire 100,000 veterans by the end of 2018. In May of 2015,Walmart announced the expansion of that original projection, with the goal of hiring 250,000 veterans by the end of 2020. Walmart has also changed the eligibility from within 12 months of active duty, to any veteran who has been honorably discharged since the announcement of the commitment in May 2013. 
Despite unemployment among veterans being at its lowest in eight years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, veterans from the Gulf War era continue to be under- or unemployed.
 “As a veteran, I know how critical it is for our men and women in uniform to have a strong support structure when transitioning back to civilian life,” said Retired Brigadier General, Gary Profit, senior director of military programs for Walmart. “A job is an important part of that transition, and at Walmart, we’re proud to use our strengths as one of the nation’s largest employers to be a part of that bridge back home by providing meaningful opportunities to more than 3,000 veterans, and counting, in Indiana to use their unique talent and skills. Veterans are among some of our strongest associates and we are pleased to see the growth and success they have achieved at Walmart.”
The Walmart Foundation’s Commitment to Veterans and Military Families
Beyond Walmart’s Veterans Welcome Home Commitment, the Walmart Foundation is also reinforcing its support for transitioning military members and their families with the announcement today of $2.6 million in grants to nonprofit organizations that support veteran reintegration – The American GI Forum and Swords to Plowshares:
●     Texas-based American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program, which stabilizes veterans through housing and job assistance among other services, will receive a $1 million grant for employment placement assistance.
●     Swords to Plowshares will receive a $1.6 million grant to enhance innovative employment and training programs at the California Veterans Employment and Training Collaborative and the Texas Veterans Employment and Training Collaborative.

MADISON MAN CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF PIPE BOMBS AND FIREARMS

0
Charges tied to two incidents in Madison, Indiana
United States Attorney Josh Minkler today announced federal charges against a Madison, Indiana, man for his role in two recent incidents in Madison, Indiana. David Theiring, 37, was charged with two counts of possession of an unregistered destructive device (a pipe bomb) and one count of possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
“Striking fear into the heart of a community will not be tolerated,” said Minkler. “Those who use violence directed at the criminal justice system or any of its members will be held strictly accountable.”
On March 6, 2016, a pipe bomb was detonated on the sidewalk in front of the Madison Police Department. A second pipe bomb was detonated just outside the residence of a Madison County judge on March 16, 2016. No one was injured in either incident.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Theiring’s residence on April 1, 2016, and found bomb-making materials, a .22 caliber rifle, and a 12 gauge shotgun. Theiring’s possession of the destructive devices on the dates was unlawful; a search of the records of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record failed to reveal any destructive devices registered Theiring. Moreover, Theiring, who has two prior felony convictions, could not legally possess a firearm.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Indiana State Police, the Madison City Police, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“ATF is committed to apprehending violent offenders and keeping the citizens of Indiana safe as we continue to work collaborative investigations with our state and local partners,” said ATF Group Supervisor Charley A. Scarber.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren M. Wheatley, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Theiring faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. An initial hearing will be held in New Albany before a U.S. Magistrate Judge.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
