northAmerican® Salutes Veterans, Gary Sinise Foundation this Memorial Day

CHICAGO, May 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On Memorial Day, we pay respect to those that have given their lives for the freedoms our nation holds dear. And while we should never forget those sacrifices, it's important to remember the countless other service men and women that suffer life-altering injuries in defense of our country. Every day, untold numbers of those in service – military and law enforcement – and their families face new challenges with simple everyday tasks; challenges that make "ordinary" activities nearly insurmountable for them.

This Memorial Day, northAmerican Van Lines salutes not only those that have died in defense of our country, but patriots that have sustained life-altering injuries at home and abroad. We also salute the Gary Sinise Foundation and their R.I.S.E. Program (Restoring Independence and Supporting Empowerment) for providing invaluable support to our military and first responder communities by building specially adapted smart homes for our most severely wounded heroes. Each home built through this Program is customized to ease the daily challenges faced by these heroes and help restore their independence. As the Official Mover of the Gary Sinise Foundation, northAmerican is humbled and honored to transport the furnishings that help turn a "house" into a "home".
