“Veterans are an essential part of Peraton’s workforce, with more than 4,000 veterans, reservists and military spouses employed across the nation. But more than just serving as an employer of choice, we strive to be a supporter of the veteran and military community,” said Peraton Chairman, President and CEO Stu Shea. “Peraton is honored to support the unique mission of the Military Bowl Foundation, which benefits the USO and Patriot Point.
