“As we celebrate the majesty and meaning of Independence Day, it is incredibly important to recognize the brave service members who have fought to maintain our freedom as a nation. This July 4th, we warmly extend our heartfelt gratitude to these American heroes for their selfless service and sacrifice,” said Paij Thorn-Brooks, vice president of marketing for Daltile.  “We also want to recognize the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. program that gifts brand new homes to wounded veterans, supporting them in the way they deserve to be served and appreciated. The Gary Sinise Foundation is a non-profit organization filled with people of integrity, who truly love our service members, first responders and their families. Daltile is very grateful for the opportunity to help honor our veterans through the R.I.S.E. program by being a small part of making daily life more easily accessible for many of our nation’s wounded heroes.”

“These homes are fully customized to address each hero’s unique injuries and make a tremendous difference in the lives of those who have served, given so much on behalf of their country, and who continue to persevere against the physical challenges sustained during their time of service,” added Thorn-Brooks.
