A rich veteran history, coupled with an ongoing commitment to hiring and honoring vets, spurred the decision for U-Haul to sponsor a Military Makeover family.
"Veterans laid the foundation for U-Haul after WWII, serving as many of the Company's first Team Members and initial customers after returning home from war and looking to move their families to a better life," stated U-Haul employment manager Tony Hinojosa, a 22-year Army veteran active duty who appears on the show.
The Military Makeover team utilizes several popular U-Haul products and services while organizing and renovating the family's home:
"The opportunity to help the Middleton family, after all they've been through, is truly our privilege," Hinojosa added. "It's great to see how our products are being used to create a more seamless, convenient home makeover process."
U-Haul has been honored repeatedly as a leading veteran-friendly employer and actively recruits veterans for their skills, work ethic and results-oriented approach.
U-Haul is committed to honoring veterans through its assistance to veteran organizations and causes; participation in national Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades; dedication to preserving Pearl Harbor and paying homage to its fallen; and sponsorship of The Tribute Journey with Gold Star Mother and artist Kathryn Cross. U-Haul is the national sponsor of nonprofit Humble Design®, which assists single-parent and veteran families escaping homelessness by providing donated furnishings and decorating services to turn empty new residences into dignified homes.
