Summit Design + Build Veterans
This Veterans Day, we are proud to honor and recognize our employees at Summit Design + Build who have served in the armed forces. Every year we are given a day to officially recognize and thank those around us who have put their own lives in harm’s way to protect and serve our country.
In honor of Veterans Day, we encouraged our veterans to share a little bit about themselves as well as how they served our country, and we are grateful for each and every single one of them. Enjoy!
