Since its founding 100 years ago, Lowe’s has operated with a service mindset. Not just for its customers, but for every member of the United States military and their families. 

Whether those service members are Lowe’s customers or our own associates, Lowe’s will continue to work with the military community to make sure our hometown heroes are honored and supported. Here’s a look back at some of the ways these service members have been recognized over the years:
