Irving, Texas — Vermeer Texas-Louisiana, the authorized dealer for Vermeer construction equipment in Texas and southern Louisiana, with Higginbotham Insurance and through the Military Warriors Support Foundation, donated a mortgage-free home to combat-wounded military veteran as part of the annual Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Country Club on May 24, 2023.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Vermeer Texas-Louisiana has participated in this philanthropic event where two deserving military veterans are awarded a home and provided transition support as they separate from the U.S. Armed Forces. This year’s recipients included Sergeant First Class Joe Sielski of North Dakota and medically retired Specialist Thomas Robinson of North Carolina, both who served in the U.S. Army. Hillwood Development, a Ross Perot company, also contributed one of the donated homes.
“Being part of such a worthy cause is a privilege, not only for Vermeer Texas-Louisiana, but for me, personally. It is not lost on us this event occurs near the Memorial Day holiday where we celebrate the men and women of the military who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy. We are well aware that freedom isn’t free, and to be able to show gratitude to veterans who are still with us is truly an honor ” said Whit Perryman, Chief Executive Officer of Vermeer Texas-Louisiana.
