NWFA Completes 59th Home with Gary Sinise Foundation
The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has provided flooring for its 59th 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 Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class (Ret.) Daniel “Doc” Jacobs took place in Vista, California. Flooring for the project was donated by NWFA member WD Flooring.
“Following his injuries, Petty Officer Jacobs became the Navy’s first amputee Corpsman,” said Micheal Martin, NWFA president and CEO. “This put him in the position of being the first amputee of all Navy personnel to return to a deployable infantry unit, which speaks to his determination to serve. We’re honored to partner with WD Flooring to provide beautiful wood floors for his new home.”
