Bio-Rad Salutes Military Appreciation Month

Honoring Joe Davis' service and all of Bio-Rad's Veterans! 

May 17, 2024

This May, Bio-Rad joins the nation in celebrating Military Appreciation Month. We are grateful for this opportunity to recognize the courage and dedication of our veterans and active service members who have bravely served our country. 

We're especially proud to highlight one of our employees, Joe Davis. Joe is a Bio-Rad Regional Sales Manager who previously served as an FMF Corpsman stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC with the prestigious 2nd Marine Division.

To recognize Joe, as well as so many men and women like him who have served, we asked Joe to tell us about his time serving and why this month of appreciation is so important. 

I grew up in a family who has served in every major conflict since the Civil War. I always knew serving was a good option for a rowdy kid not ready for college. I served four years as an FMF Corpsman Stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC with the 2nd Marine Division. I deployed twice, once with the 22 Marine Expeditionary Unit where we participated in Operation Sharp Edge to secure our Embassy in Liberia, Africa. We evacuated about 1,500 US and NATO noncombatants out of that war-torn country. My second deployment was with the 2nd Light Armored Infantry Battalion to the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield and Storm.

Joining the military was probably the best decision I could have made; it gave me the opportunity to see the world, grow up and then go to college on the GI Bill with a very different perspective on life.

Those men and women that raise their right hand and swear an oath become part of that special family. Currently less than 1% of US adults are serving on active duty. These men and women and their families deserve the utmost respect, appreciation and gratitude. In 1999, Congress named May as US Military Appreciation Month, so take a minute and say THANK YOU to an Active Member, Veteran or Family Member. 

Currently it is estimated that 41,000 veterans are homeless, and 22 veterans commit suicide every day. We should do better and help those who gave so much.
