Norfolk Southern Salutes
Our Veterans and Their Families
During the month of November, we salute all past and present employees who have answered the call to protect our freedoms and their families as part of Veterans Month sponsored by our Diversity Council.
Our armed forces present some of the best and most positive examples of diversity at work. NS employees who have served in the armed forces have used the lessons of teamwork and responsibility to help make our company stronger.
We salute the families of our veterans for the pride and support they show and the sacrifice they make.
We invite you to learn more about NS veterans and their families and our armed forces in this special section where ordinary people performing extraordinary tasks come “front and center.”
