Women’s History Month and Women in Construction Week are marked every March to honor women’s contributions to society and celebrate their achievements, and we are proud to support the careers of women at Ford Construction, from mechanics, commercial truck drivers, accounting, administration, safety, human resources, and various leadership roles, through empowerment, mentorship, and inclusion. ‘Together We Rise’—this year’s Women in Construction Week theme—celebrates women’s strength and the knowledge they bring to the table. We have the best at Ford Construction Company! Thank you for all you do! "Together We Rise"

Thank you, Veterans! We honor you and are so thankful for your service. “Americans should always honor our veterans. At this moment, we especially need the example of their character. And we need a new generation to set examples of its own, examples in service and sacrifice and courage. These veterans have shaped our history, and with their values, your generation will help guide our future.” ? George W. Bush
