Waukesha Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks will honor the Renteria Family; United States Air Force’s Technical Sergeants Laura and Richard, their son Staff Sergeant Steve and their daughter Airmen Taylor, at one of the fifteen Hardwood Homecoming Veteran Salutes Bucks games on Nov. 30, 2013 against the Boston Celtics.
Laura entered the United States Air Force upon her high school graduation. She met Richard while she was stationed in Germany and they got married. In 1985, Laura left active duty to raise a family. In 1988 her husband, Richard, left the Air Force. During the Gulf War and 911 Laura felt a great sense of responsibility and returned to duty. When their oldest child Steve turned 18, Laura became a reservist at the 440th Air Force Reserve Unit in Milwaukee and has since become a member of the 128th Air Refueling Wing in Milwaukee. Steve and Taylor followed their parent’s commitment to our country and joined the 128th Air Refueling Reserves upon high school graduation where they are serving along with their mom, Laura.
Waukesha® Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks were proud to have the opportunity to say thank-you to the Renteria Family for their service and welcome them 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 Renteria Family and the other members of your unit who have served our country, we cannot thank you enough.
