Each year America Makes invites the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Youngstown Chapter 2 color guard to open our Members Meeting & Exchange event. This year, the DAV Chapter 2 took a moment to share with the hundreds of industry attendees that they were in search of a dedicated space to store items collected for local veterans in need. As luck would have it, the right connections were made and the group secured a new space in Austintown, OH. Our employees, Rhonda Capan and Zach Smith, were honored to attend their open house to celebrate. Congratulations to the DAV Chapter 2 on your new space and we thank you for all that you do to support the veterans in our community. #community #SupportOurVeterans #USwarfighter #AmericaMakes National Center for Defense Manufacturing & Machining (NCDMM)
