Alongside the donation of LP® SmartSide® products, the LP Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit fully funded by LP, provided financial support for the home’s construction.

“On behalf of our founder Gary Sinise and all of us at the Gary Sinise Foundation, we are incredibly grateful for our partnership with LP and the LP Foundation and for their commitment to joining us in honoring our nation’s veterans, including incredible heroes like Sergeant Hargis, who put their lives on the line every day defending our freedoms and our country,” said Gary Sinise Foundation Executive Vice President Jim Ravella.
LP’s commitment to veterans extends beyond charitable contributions. Through initiatives such as its sponsorship of the Manufacturing Institute’s Heroes MAKE America program, RecruitMilitary and Mission StartPoint (founded by LP team member Joe Buhajla), LP actively fosters support for veterans and active-duty military personnel within its workforce. This dedication was recognized earlier this year when LP and LP Watkins Plant Manager Bob Simpson received the prestigious Above and Beyond Award from the Department of Defense’s Office of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. The award, for which LP and Simpson were nominated by LP team member and Minnesota National Guard member Ross Ruder, highlights LP’s dedication to creating a veteran-friendly workplace.
