Estes is proud to be a company built by military heroes. Our former President and Chairman of the Board, Robey W. Estes Sr., participated in the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Bulge, receiving three Purple Hearts in World War II before going on to lead our company for more than 30 years. Since then, thousands of Estes employees have worn our nation’s uniform before they wore ours.

At Estes, we honor those who have served our country by:

• Actively recruiting and hiring military veterans because we value the skills, dedication, and integrity they bring to our team
• Participating in the Wounded Warrior Project’s Warriors to Work program as well as the U.S. Army Partnership for Your Success program
• Supporting Wreaths Across America by delivering fresh evergreen wreaths to the gravesites of fallen service members every year
• Participating in the annual Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program to provide toys to children whose families couldn’t otherwise afford them
• Joining forces with Give2TheTroops and NCPacks4Patriots to collect items for care packages being sent to U.S. service members deployed in combat and disaster-relief zones around the world
• Donating funds to the Wounded Warrior Project each year through our Employee-Directed Giving Campaign

At Estes, we are proud to support those who have given so much to protect our nation’s freedoms. We couldn’t be more grateful for their service or their sacrifice.
