The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has provided flooring for its 47th home in support of the Gary Sinise Foundation R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment). The R.I.S.E. program builds custom, specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans and first responders. The home dedication for United States Army (Ret.) Captain Greg Galeazzi took place on August 20, in Boston, MA. Flooring for the project was donated by NWFA member Sheoga Hardwood Flooring, with receiving and delivery donated by Specialty Forest Products. Installation for the project was donated by C&R Flooring.
CPT Galeazzi was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan in the summer of 2010. Quickly into his deployment, he volunteered to take over a platoon that lost its leader to a roadside bomb. In May 2011, he was heading back to base with his platoon after leading a foot patrol, when he was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED). The blast resulted in the loss of both of his legs, and part of this right arm.
