Stanley partnering with military 'heroes' group

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (May 27, 2015) — Stanley Black & Decker Inc. has forged a partnership based in service to honor U.S. military veterans.

The New Britain-based tool maker, in introducing its “Build Your America” program, notes that “our military and public safety veterans didn't serve to gain our thanks, but they absolutely deserve it.”

The company said it is “proud to partner” with non-profit organization House of Heroes to recognize, honor and serve America's veterans.

Some of the heroes being honored by Stanley include “Cliff H.,” described as “a proud WWII veteran”; Veteran “Jesse E.,” who displays a Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart Medal, both of which he won in the U.S. Army; “Marie P.,” shown wearing a red sweater while holding a framed photo of her late husband, U.S. Navy veteran Dennis Perreault, a Vietnam veteran; 11-year U.S. Navy veteran “Pat G.,” wearing a camouflage jacket and ball cap, who “knows what it means to help others”; and U.S. Marine veteran “Mario S.,” shown holding a framed photo of himself as a young man in the military.
