Obama's 2014 President's Volunteer Service Awards (PVSA) will be
presented to more than 3,000 outstanding Lockheed Martin employees
during National Volunteer Week, April

is a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated
commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer
service and civic participation.
"Through their volunteer service our employees have dedicated
their time, attention and expertise to hundreds of community
organizations that are making a difference in the lives of
children, veterans, our active duty military personnel and so many
others," said Marillyn Hewson,
Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO. "We are proud to have
so many employees being recognized for their generosity in the
communities where we live and work."

more hours of volunteer service over the course of a 12-month
period. Throughout 2014, Lockheed Martin PVSA award recipients

others.
