August 28, 2007 - ELDERSBURG, MD
- S&K Roofing, Siding and Windows (SKRoofing.com)
announced today its participation in the launch
of the Heroes at Home program, which is
improving the lives of military families in need
across America.
As one of the first beneficiaries of Heroes at
Home, Army Specialist Ryan C. Major of Silver
Spring, Md., receives an extreme home makeover
as dozens of volunteers and several home
improvement companies, including S&K Roofing,
Siding and Windows, install a new elevator as
well as a wheelchair-accessible bedroom,
bathroom and a deck onto his house.
Major was injured during Operation Iraqi
Freedom. While on patrol searching for suspected
bomb makers, an improvised explosive device
detonated near his squad, resulting in Major
losing both of his legs.
"We owe so much to the men and women who
serve our country. This is one small way in
which we can show them how much we appreciate
what they have given to protect us",
stated Don Katzenberger, president of S&K
Roofing, Siding and Windows.
Heroes at Home
The Heroes at Home program was established in
the summer of 2007 as the result of a partnership
between Rebuilding Together (RebuildingTogether.org),
the nation's largest volunteer-driven,
non-profit home rehabilitation organization, and
the Sears Holding Corporation (SearsHoldings.com).
The program seeks to improve the lives of
military families in need by making necessary
repairs, improvements and modifications to their
homes.
