Today on #VeteransDay, we’re honored to recognize Reginald Dumas, a decorated military veteran as #DailyPointofLight Award honoree #7940. For over a decade, Reggie has been a compassionate Red Coat Ambassador at one of New England’s busiest VA medical centers. Whether he’s guiding veterans to appointments or offering a friendly smile, he always focuses on supporting those in need. “That’s what I’m there for. One day I might be in their place. I don’t care what race or nationality you are. I love to help. That’s the way I am. I believe in helping.” Thank you, Reggie, for your continued service to our veterans and community!

Points of Light mourns the loss of Bernie Marcus, a visionary leader and dedicated philanthropist. Nearly 35 years ago, when President George H.W. Bush founded Points of Light, The Home Depot stood by as one of our first corporate partners, rallying thousands of employees to serve their communities. From impactful volunteer activations to membership in our Corporate Service Council and longstanding support of the George H.W. Bush Points of Light Awards, Home Depot has been a steadfast partner in driving positive change. Bernie’s legacy of service and community impact lives on in Home Depot’s ongoing work, which prioritizes people, sustainability, and community strength. Thank you, Bernie, for inspiring a culture of service at Home Depot. You are truly a "Point of Light."
The entire Home Depot family is deeply saddened by the death of our co-founder Bernie Marcus. He’s left us with an invaluable legacy and the backbone of our company: our values and culture. He will be tremendously missed. https://lnkd.in/eAD5jjQh
