Carpet One Members See 'Never Forget' Exhibit

Phoenix, AZ, Jan. 24, 2014 -- Carpet One Floor & Home members had a chance to see the country’s only 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit while attending their winter convention this week in Phoenix.

The exhibit is composed of historic artifacts donated by firehouses throughout New York City and was created by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Carpet One Floor & Home, along with Mohawk Industries, recently announced their new involvement with Building for America’s Bravest, a program in partnership between the Gary Sinise Foundation and Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

The program provides Smart Homes for severely injured service members.

Carpet One Floor & Home and Mohawk will provide all flooring materials and installation for 46 smart homes scheduled to be built over the next three years, a contribution totaling $2.3 million.

The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which created the mobile exhibit in remembrance of Stephen Siller, a NYC firefighter who died on 9/11, honors military and first responders.

During the convention, Carpet One Floor & Home members had the opportunity to meet representatives from both the Gary Sinise Foundation and Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation as well as injured veterans who will benefit from the Building For America’s Bravest program.

Additionally, there will be various benefit performances to raise the much needed funds, including Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band.
