Certificate of Appreciation from TACOM

George from TACOM visited corporate office today to present Tracy with a Certificate of Appreciation for our sponsorship of the US Army Family and Morale, Welfare & Recreation (MWR). The US Army Family and MWR offers programs, services and activities for US Army Soldiers and their families that they wouldn’t normally be able to afford.  These programs are designed to relieve stress, build strength and resilience, and help the Army Family stay physically, mentally, and financially fit.

We are thrilled to support this great cause and appreciate the recognition!  The certificate is hanging in the lobby at Main Office.
