AdvanSix welcomed employees, veterans and community members to its facility at 2501 Margaret St. in recognition of Veterans Day, honoring those who have served in the U.S. armed forces, including veterans who are part of the AdvanSix workforce and the surrounding community.
The event featured remarks from plant manager Bill Rodebaugh and state Rep. Joe Hohenstein and was attended by City Councilman Mike Driscoll. The program also included a flag-raising ceremony led by two AdvanSix employees, Navy veteran Jaybee Grisson and Army veteran Jeff Matlack.
During the event, the national anthem was performed by Rodebaugh’s daughter, Katie Jo. Attendees enjoyed refreshments from the Bridesburg business I Knead Coffee.
“Our veterans are our coworkers, neighbors, family members and friends. Veterans Day gives us an opportunity to thank them for their service and sacrifice, recognize all they have done for our country and honor the contributions they continue to make at our sites and throughout the Frankford and Bridesburg communities,” Rodebaugh said. “We are proud to celebrate and support those who have served.”
To recognize those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, this holiday season AdvanSix will once again support Wreaths Across America, an initiative that honors veterans by placing wreaths on their graves. AdvanSix will sponsor 140 wreaths at cemeteries near each of its site locations. ••
