Waukesha® Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks honored Wisconsin National Guardsman Senior Airman Jefferson Harkleroad at one of the ten Hardwood Homecoming Veteran Salutes Bucks games on April 3, 2013 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

An Air Force Electrician serving in the Civil Engineering Squadron at Milwaukee’s one-twenty-eighth Air Refueling Wing, Harkleroad recently deployed to Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. At Bagram, Harkleroad was responsible for structural construction and maintenance projects at the airfield. Harkleroad served in Afghanistan from early last summer and returned home to Milwaukee earlier this year in January.

Waukesha® Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks were proud to have the opportunity to say thankyou to Senior Airman Harkleroad for his service and welcome him home to the hardwood. The commitment and sacrifice our military have shown for this country is valued by all; their courage and dedication has not gone unnoticed. Thank you Senior Airman Harkleroad and the other members of your unit who have served our country, we cannot thank you enough.
