Stu Gregory, co-founder of Des Champs, Gregory & Hayes, Inc. and longtime Goodwill supporter and community philanthropist, has donated a special monument in honor of veterans for Goodwill Manasota’s corporate headquarters and international training center in Bradenton. Adorned with the American flag, the monument holds an inscription that reads, “This flag is dedicated to the men and women who protect our liberties, and especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedom.” “When I was thinking about an inscription for this monument, I thought about Goodwill’s Veterans Services Program. It gives back to the community in a big way – helping those who can’t find jobs because of disabilities or other barriers. The organization helps veterans returning from war to find employment,” said Gregory. “I wanted to honor that commitment while saying ‘thank you’ to our heroes. We can never say thank you enough, and that’s why we dedicated this monument, and the flag, to the Goodwill corporate campus.”
