The t-shirts the Omega TMM team purchased for veterans day were from Grunt Style Apparel, which is not only made in America, but is operated by over 400 veterans. The team in charge of purchasing the apparel for their fellow employees wanted to ensure that any money spent on the Veterans day celebration would positively impact the veterans community. Once Omega TMM employees saw the custom shirts and read the Grunt Style mission statement, it was a clear that the “American Made” shirt was the perfect choice.

Other highlights of the day included included a memorabilia table ( Medals, plaques, pictures, and even uniforms) of employee’s family who served or are serving in all branches of the military. Mike Nuccitelli, CEO and Chris Inzinga, Executive Director, sponsored a breakfast and lunch for all employees in honor of the special day at the company.
