Walmart is putting out the help wanted sign for veterans.
The world's largest retailer said it plans to hire more than 100,000 veterans in the United States over the next five years, a move supported by first lady Michelle Obama.
Walmart said most of the veterans will work in the company's stores and clubs, and some will have jobs in distribution centers.
The job offers, which will start going out on Memorial Day, will be given to any honorably discharged veteran within his or her first 12 months of active duty.
