Hashtags4Heroes: Using Social Media’s Vast Reach to Thank our Troops

In 2012 Raytheon took to Twitter to thank our veterans as well as the brave men and women who continue to serve in harm's way. Using the power of Twitter, Raytheon encouraged members of Twitter to send our veterans 140 characters of support and gratitude for a job well done.

We continue to thank them for their service, honor their commitment and salute their patriotism, one tweet at a time.

We celebrate those who have defended our freedom at home and around the world. We ask Americans everywhere to join us.

Here's how you can get involved: Use the #HT4H hashtag in any thank you tweets, so that we can track and capture them throughout the month.

Our "Hashtags4Heroes" initiative kicked off May 2012, during Military Appreciation Month in a bid to raise awareness about wounded warriors.

Please personalize your tweet with links to photos, children's artwork, videos and anything else you want to share to show the troops and our veterans how much you care.
