Carpet One Floor & Home Remembers 9/11 by Bringing Hope to Injured Service Members

Manchester, NH (PRWEB) January 28, 2014

Carpet One Floor & Home members recently experienced the countrys only 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit while attending their Winter Convention last week in Phoenix, AZ. The exhibit is comprised of historic artifacts donated by firehouses throughout New York City and was created by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Carpet One Floor & Home along with Mohawk recently announced their new involvement with Building for Americas Bravest, a program in partnership between the Gary Sinise Foundation and Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The program provides Smart Homes for severely injured service members with each home custom designed to meet their needs and give them a place where they can be at home. Carpet One Floor & Home and Mohawk will provide all flooring materials and installation for forty-six Smart Homes scheduled to be built by the Building for Americas Bravest program over the next three years - a contribution totaling $2.3 million.

The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which created the mobile exhibit in remembrance of Stephen Siller, a NYC firefighter who bravely sacrificed his life to save others on 9/11, honors military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.

During the convention, Carpet One Floor & Home members had the opportunity to meet representatives from both the Gary Sinise Foundation and Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation as well as injured veterans who will benefit from the Building For Americas Bravest program.

Additionally, there were various benefit performances to raise the much needed funds, including Daniel Rodrguez who earned the title of The Singing Policeman during his time with the New York City Police Department due to his role as one of the department's designated National Anthem singers. He received nationwide notoriety after the September 11th attacks with his rendition of "God Bless America", which he sang at memorial events and on television.

Headlining the convention and closing out the weekend, Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band took to the stage with their renditions of contemporary pop and classic rock hits.
