This is just one of the many ways Walmart and NASCAR are giving back to our service men and women and their families. Walmart's  "Military Family Promise" guarantees a job at a nearby store or club for all military personnel if they have been transferred by the United States Military. In August of this year, NASCAR will continue host its 7th Annual Tribute to the Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Find ways you can to get involved to support our troops and their families.
