The National Mall is visited by an estimated 36 million visitors a year and hosts some of our nation’s most iconic annual celebrations, including the National Cherry Blossom Festival, the National Independence Day Celebration, presidential inaugurations, and wreath-laying ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. John Deere, with support from the Atlantic Tractor dealership, is proud to donate an Honor Gator for use in the planning and execution of these beloved national celebrations and observances on “America’s Front Yard.”

John Deere is proud of its long-standing work with current military members and their families, as well as veterans. Multiple opportunities within the company exist, including DOD SkillBridge internship opportunities for active-duty military members at John Deere dealership and factory locations to help them transition into the workforce full-time, nationwide dealer technicians, factory production roles at one of the sixteen major facilities in the U.S., and support roles including operations, IT, data analytics, and engineering.

Veterans working at John Deere find themselves having a higher sense of purpose, helping farmers and infrastructure workers feed and shelter the world, a team-based environment with a focus on supporting the customer, a never-ending desire for improvement, market-leading pay and benefits, and a dedicated Military Employee Resource Group to help veterans.

“This Veterans Day, John Deere is reaffirming its commitment to the military and our veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect this country. Our support of the National Mall will help preserve some of the nation’s most important reminders of our past while reaffirming our outlook on the future,”

said Maureen McCormack, Go-to-Market Manager, Gator Utility Vehicles.

The National Mall in Washington, D.C., spans more than 1,000 acres of treasured greenspace and features the iconic monuments and memorials that symbolize our nation and its democratic values. The Trust for the National Mall is the leading nonprofit philanthropic partner of the National Park Service dedicated to restoring, preserving, and enriching and the National Mall.
