Military Monday at Factory Five!

Sometimes you have to wonder when things happen “by coincidence”.  Anyone who has visited Factory Five and has seen our showroom display of American Flags that have been flown in combat knows that we strongly support our military men and women.  This weekend at the Factory Five Build School, we signed a statement of support for the Guard and Reserve.  Then this morning in the mail is a letter with some patches and t-shirts from Rob Donoho representing First C-17 Reserve 317th Air Lift Squadron.

Then we get a call that our local Wareham Fire Department needs some fiberglass repair work done on their rescue boat.  What a great opportunity to support our local firefighters and show our support for our military all in the same day!
