Veterans gave their time to serve their country and now one retired Savannah servicemember is being rewarded for that service.U.S. Air Force veteran Garrett Ross is now in the charter fishing business, and it was that business that led to an interesting occurrence — the installation of a brand-new roof on his house.Ross became friends with Jason Cobb of SRS Distribution, and that eventually led to him receiving a much-needed brand-new roof, free of charge.“He told me that Owings Corning, S&S and Superior Distribution were donating the roof to me because I was a veteran," said Ross. "It’s just super humbling, and we can’t tell everybody how appreciative we all are.”The new roof is being donated by S&S Roofing and Construction out of Leesburg, Georgia. It’s all part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project.“We just like to give back to the soldiers and people who serve for our country," said Michael Strickland, the owner of S&S Roofing and Construction. "They put a lot of sacrifice into it, and the least we can do is give back.”Putting a roof on a house can be very expensive, so getting this new one put on his is certainly a weight off of Ross’ shoulders.“As stuff happened the past few storms and leaks were developing, we didn’t have the money to fix it," said Ross. "So it’s a huge relief to know that it’s getting taken care of, and it’s going to last a little longer.” And while Ross is grateful for the gesture, he says these kinds of acts are not the reason why you choose to serve your country.“When you join the military, you’re not doing it for the discount and to get the recognition," said Ross. "You’re doing it because it feels like the right thing to do."The Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project began in 2016, and during that time, more than 450 military families have received new roofs.
