Our Commitment to Military Veterans
We recognize their unwavering service to our nation—and how the veterans on our team contribute to our success.
Veterans are part of the heritage of Mercury GSE, which was created by a group of American aviators who fought in World War II. Our company continues to benefit from the contributions of veterans who transitioned to the civilian workforce to become part of our team.
We're passionate about honoring our veterans. To pay tribute, we’re rolling out a JBT pushback tractor wrapped in a striking design that shows our unwavering support for those who have served. This vibrant wrap is a visible testament to our dedication to the Mercury GSE veterans initiatives and our support for the veterans on our team, honoring them at every turn.
They've served their country with honor. Now, they serve our customers with pride, working to ensure the safety and efficiency of ground operations.
This pushback tractor is dependable and resilient. These are characteristics we see in our veterans every day.
A special veterans’ design will be featured on Mercury GSE equipment, T-shirts, and facilities in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Victorville, California. This mark of our enduring respect helps share the story of dedication and exceptional skills that veterans bring to the team and the aviation industry.
