Waukesha® Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks honored Melissa Pontillo at one of the fifteen Hardwood Homecoming Veteran Salutes Bucks games on Dec. 7, 2013 against the Brooklyn Nets. Melissa Pontillo joined the Army at the age of 17. She served two years in the Army Reserve and served 11 years where she was stationed in Germany, Virginia and was deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom to Iraq.

Waukesha® Metal Products and the Milwaukee Bucks were proud to have the opportunity to say thank-you to Melissa Pontillo for her service and welcome her 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.
