across the country have chosen to participate in the program.

gratitude,” said Gunner Smith, Roofing Business President at Owens
Corning. “Our Roof Deployment Project makes a real difference for
veterans and their families, demonstrating that we have not
forgotten the incredible sacrifices they have made for our nation’s
freedom. We are humbled to partner with our Platinum Preferred
network of contractors to be able to make the lives of veterans
safer and easier by giving them a solid roof over their heads.”

program’s role in supporting the nation’s veterans, a special roof

served in the U.S. Army National Guard from 1977 to 1984. “I am so
happy this is happening,” he said. “As a disabled veteran, it’s not
something I could afford. I’m very appreciative for the help.”
Don Rettig, director of community affairs and president of the
Owens Corning Foundation, said, “Owens Corning has an unwavering
