LATEST EPISODE: Garrett Barton, Field Consultant
On this episode of the Great American Heroes Podcast Isaiah talked with Garrett Barton, a Field Consultant with Circle K and a U.S. Navy veteran. “This partnership isn’t just a corporate initiative—it’s a mission from the heart,” Barton shared. “As a veteran myself, I know firsthand how much organizations like the DAV mean to those of us who’ve served. Circle K is honored to stand beside the DAV of Massachusetts in supporting our brothers and sisters in arms.”
Through this partnership, Circle K continues its proud tradition of community involvement and veteran advocacy. Together, Circle K and the DAV of MA are making a meaningful difference—one veteran at a time.
When your company makes a decision to be an advocate for injured veterans, people will pay attention! DAV has been committed to serving veterans for 100 years, and we have a proven track record of success – helping our Massachusetts veterans obtain needed benefits and services.
