HLCCA Honors Memorial Day

HLCCA salutes the brave American men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedom and liberty. Above is a sample of HLC's Unity shape with a treatment called "Freedom." Unity is one of HLC's foodservice lines.

Please take time on this Memorial Day to reflect upon the blessings we enjoy as Americans.
